Soup Making Tips -
Quality of Butternut Squash
Determine the quality of butternut squash by gently running a nail down the surface of the skin. If the skin nicks, punctures or scrapes, the squash did not reach full maturity before it was harvested. Young butternut squash does not contain as many nutrients or as much flavor as mature squash.
