Squash Early Butternut

1979 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

The thick-necked fruits of Early Butternut hybrid squash have small seed cavities and weigh an average of 2-2.5 pounds. Early Butternut is relished for its light, sweet, nutty flavor and firm texture that does not become mushy or watery in baking or when pureed for pies and soups. The flesh cooks to a dark orange color.
