Did you know today is NATIONAL ACORN SQUASH DAY?? Well, now you do! National Acorn Squash Day is observed annually on September 7th. This day celebrates the food holiday of a winter squash that is also known to some as a 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.... The acorn squash that is dark green, often with a splotch of orange on its side or top, is the most common variety. However, there are newer varieties including the Golden Acorn and the White Acorn. They can also be variegated in color. The shape of the squash resembles that of its name, an acorn. They usually weigh between one to two pounds and are generally between four and seven inches long. Acorn squash is a hardy squash that keeps for several months when stored in a cool, dry location.
