They are a good source of iron, riboflavin and vitamins A and C. Winter squash have hard, thick skins and seeds. The flesh is firmer than that of summer squash and therefore requires longer cooking. Winter squash varieties include acorn, buttercup, hubbard, spaghetti and turban. Winter squash is best from early fall through the winter. Choose squash that are heavy for their size and have a hard, deep-colored rind free of blemishes. Depending on the variety, they can be kept in a cool, dark place for a month or so.
