Acorn Squash, with its distinct ribbed exterior and deep forest-green skin occasionally tinged with a splash of orange, offers a visual feast as it rests amidst the produce. Its compact, rounded shape cradles tender, sweet, and nutty golden-yellow flesh that softens beautifully when cooked. This winter squash variety is favored for its single-serving size, making it a delightful vessel for stuffing with grains, meats, or cheeses. Acorn Squash shines when roasted, bringing out caramel notes, or can be steamed, sautéed, or pureed for soups and desserts. This squash is not only rich in flavor but also a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium, contributing to its status as a hearty and nutritious component of seasonal dishes.
At Fresh Harvest we prioritize working with local producers and upholding our sourcing standards. To curate the best quality and quantity of produce we will sometimes pull from a variety of producers. We look to other growing regions for those items that are impossible or difficult to consistently grow well in our region. Any produce coming from out-of-state will be clearly labelled with it's place of origin.
