Acorn squash is also known as pepper squash. Even though it is considered a Winter squash, acorn squash belongs to the same species as all summer squashes, including zucchini and yellow crookneck squash. Acorn squash originated in North America when Native Americans were growing and eating the squashes for nourishment when European colonizers arrived. Because of its long-lasted durability, it can last months without rotting and it can be cooked in various ways: steamed, sauteed, baked, or microwaved. Many recipes include spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, coriander, and cardamom to bring out the slightly sweet yet nutty flavor of this vegetable which also offers a good source of dietary fiber and potassium. It also has some vitamin C and B, magnesium, and manganese.
