Kabocha Squash
Characteristics: The squat, green kabocha-the Japanese word for squash-has a nutty, earthy flavor with just a touch of sweetness. It's similar in shape and size to a buttercup squash, but the base points out and not in.
Recipes to try:
* Kabocha Squash Risotto with Sage and Pine Nuts
* Kabocha Squash Cake with Brown Sugar Cream
