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.
Where to buy fresh Summer Squash near you
Select squash that feels firm and heavy for its size.
Look for smooth, glossy skin without bruises or soft spots.
Smaller squash are usually more tender and flavorful.
Avoid oversized squash, which may have tougher skin and larger seeds.
