Wholesale Squash

YEAR ROUND
Squash has been an important vegetable in North, Central, and South American diets for centuries due to its growability, nutritional value, and long growing season. Archaeologists have found squash seeds from as far back as 12,000 years ago in Ecuadorian caves, showing that they have long been a vital crop for civilizations all across the Americas. Squash, maize, and beans were the three staple crops of native tribes across North America as all three provided growing benefits to the others and the combination of vegetables provided their harvesters with balanced nutrition. The numerous varieties of squash are broken up into two categories named for their harvest time: summer and winter squash. Summer squash has a much softer skin and only takes about 40 to 60 days to grow before it is ready to be picked. Winter squash on the other hand, has a tough, ridged rind and can be left on the vine for as long as 120 days to develop its hardy exterior. Both types are used in a variety of dishes and are a staple in fall cooking.
