Yellow Crookneck Squash
Description
Our yellow crookneck squash is picked young and typically weigh between 0.3 and 0.8 pounds each. Summer squash has the benefit of being low-calorie, low-sugar, a decent source of fiber, and contains antioxidants including phenolic compounds and carotenoids, such as those called beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin and dehydroascorbic acid.
Squash can be eaten raw, grilled, steamed, roasted or sautéed. It has a light, sweet flavor...so be careful not to over power it with other flavors.
