Summer Squash
Summer squash is a group of tender squash varieties harvested while the skin is still soft and edible. Unlike winter squash, which develops a hard outer shell and stores well, summer squash is delicate, mild, and best enjoyed fresh.
Common varieties include yellow squash, zucchini, pattypan squash, and other specialty types. Summer squash has a mild flavor, tender texture, and high water content, making it a versatile ingredient for grilling, roasting, sautéing, baking, and fresh preparations.
