| Kabocha Squash |
I bought a couple of these darling squash yesterday at Publix for Halloween decorating for my kitchen and then to use in a new recipe. When I got home and Googled them, I discovered that it is a Japanese squash.
The squat, green kabocha—the Japanese word for squash—has a nutty, earthy flavor with just a touch of sweetness. This Japanese squash has a squatty shape, green rind, and orange flesh. The dense flesh and sweet flavor makes it well-suited for mashing and using in baked goods. It is also commonly used in soups, and is primarily grown and eaten in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, China, and the United States.
