Vegetable squash is liked as much for it's novelty as it is for it's taste.
What fun it is to cook a squash and cut it open and pull out miles of crisp-tender, golden strands. It is very, very low in calories. However, the early fall trough winter squash is the most flavorful. Look for even, yellow, smooth squash without ridges, bumps or spots. When purchased in good condition, it can be stored for several weeks at room temperature.
