Green acorn squash is small to medium in size, averaging 12-20 centimeters in length and 10-12 centimeters in diameter, and has an ovoid shape lined with deeply furrowed ridges that taper to a point opposite of the stem end. The smooth skin or rind is light green when young and transforms into a deep green with yellow and orange patches when mature. The flesh is moist and spongy with a hollow center that contains stringy pulp encasing many small, flat, cream-colored seeds. When cooked, its yellow-orange flesh becomes tender and offers a mildly sweet and nutty flavor with a somewhat dry texture.
Nutritional Value
Green acorn squash is an excellent source of dietary fiber and contains vitamin C, vitamin B6, magnesium, manganese, and potassium.
Applications

Cooked Green acorn squash can also be added to stews, curries, risotto, and pasta. In addition to savory applications, Green acorn squash can be used in sweet preparations such as quick bread, cakes, and pies.
