Butternut squash: when it's in season and what to cook
Butternut squash is usually at its best from September to January across much of the US. That includes now.
How to pick it
Look for a matte, tan skin with no green streaks, a dry stem and a heavy feel.
How to keep it
Whole squash keeps for a month or more in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate cut pieces.
Months are when each item is usually at its best across much of the US. Seasons start earlier in warm places and later in cool ones, and they shift from year to year, so your local farm stand or market is the best guide.
