Delicata Squash is small, easy-to-cook and is rich, creamy, and very versatile. Delicata gets its name from its uncharacteristically delicate skin for a winter squash. Delicata squash tastes deep, rich, and sweet - remarkably similar to sweet potatoes and is very easy to peel. When roasted until tender the skin is soft and edible like a summer squash. Delicious roasted, in soups, pies, stews, and curries. It is also rich in vitamins A and C, B vitamins, carotenoids, and minerals.
