Summer Squash

Summer squash is one of our favorite late spring, early summer vegetables because of how versatile it is in the kitchen. We grow a few different varieties of summer squash, including: zucchini, yellow crookneck, and a modern version of the Italian heirloom "costata romanesca."

Storage

Store summer squash in a well ventilated/not sealed bag in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Cooking Tips

At the very beginning of summer squash season, we like to eat squash raw, shaved in a salad, to taste it in all its squashy glory. But most often, we eat summer squash roasted or grilled at a high temperature with garlic. Cooking it this way is the best way to preserve its tender, almost silky texture. We also like to make squash into quick pickles for the winter, or seared and marinated on the stovetop.
