The term 'Squash Type' can refer to two different vegetables: ACORN and ZUCCHINI. ACORN squash is a winter squash with a hard, ridged skin and sweet, yellow-orange flesh. It is usually round in shape and has a nutty flavor. ZUCCHINI is a summer squash that is cylindrical in shape and has a mild flavor. It is usually green in color and has a tender skin. Both ACORN and ZUCCHINI are popular vegetables that can be cooked in a variety of ways.
