Acorn Squash

Acorn squash is one of the winter squashes, which in temperate climates are harvested in the autumn when their seeds have matured and their outer skins have hardened into a rind. They’re called “winter” squashes because, before refrigeration, they could be kept and eaten through the winter.
As you might guess from the acorn squash’s orange flesh, it is a good source of antioxidant carotenes. It also provides the minerals magnesium, manganese, potassium, and calcium, and vitamins A and C.
