Spaghetti squash is from the same family as zucchini and acorn squash, among others and is considered as a winter squash. It is native to Central America and Mexico.
When raw, the flesh is solid and similar to other raw squash, but when cooked, the meat of the fruit falls away from the flesh in ribbons or strands that look like, and are often used as a healthier alternative to, spaghetti. The squash can be cooked in a variety of ways, including baking, boiling, steaming, or microwaving.
The skin of each oval-shaped squash is smooth, and at maturity, it ages to a soft yellow. The squash grows to about 20-23 cm in length.
Unlike other types of squash, spaghetti squash needs to be harvested when it is fully mature. Scrape your fingernail against the skin of the squash. If your fingernail punctures the squash skin, it needs more time to mature.
Growing Spaghetti Squash
- Seeds should be planted in rows in groups of two about 1m apart and about 3-5 cm deep.
- Each row should be 2 m from the next.
- Make sure to water the plants each week.
- It takes about three months (90 days) for the winter squash to mature.
