GOURD TO KNOW
A Trimester
Acorn squash takes less than three months to grow from seed to full maturity.
Cured
Once harvested, the squash is left to sit in the sun, rotated at intervals for even exposure. This hardens the skin to protect the flesh inside, a process known as curing.
Waste Not
The seeds, squash blossoms, and the young green top leaves are all edible.
