Hubbard Squash

Hubbard Squash is a large (10-15lbs) winter squash. Winter squash has a hard skin that makes it easy to store for several months.

Hubbard squash comes in a variety of skin colors, anywhere from white to orange to green. Like other squash it has orange flesh inside. Hubbard squash has an extremely thick skin and stores extremely well. Look for squash that is very firm with no soft spots or mold.

Hubbard squash is very moist. It is great pureed and in pies. If you don't want to buy a whole hubbard, look for new hybrids that are a bit smaller. Some stores even sell cut squash so that you don't have to buy as much.
