Squash--Winter

Winter squash is a summer-growing annual fruit, representing several squash species within the genus Cucurbita. It differs fromsummer squash in that it is harvested and eaten in the mature fruit stage, when the seeds within have matured fully and the skin has hardened into a tough rind. At this stage, most varieties of this fruit can be stored for use during the winter. It is generally cooked before eating.[1]
