Even though it is listed as a winter squash, acorn squash is related to the same species as all summer squashes, including zucchini and yellow crookneck squash.
The most popular variety comes in a mostly green outer shell, with occasional orange splotch on its side or top. However, gardeners and cooks will enjoy the Golden Acorn and the White Acorn. The Golden Acorn and the White Acorn are two popular gardeners and cooks. This versatile squash also grows in a variety of shades of color.
The acorn squash is similar to its name in shape, as well as an acorn. They usually weigh between one and two pounds and grow between four and seven inches long. This hardy squash also stays for several months, making it a great addition to your winter rackets. Just be sure to store it in a cool, dry location.
