Flesh

Butternut squash flesh is a primary edible portion with nutty winter-squash flavour that purees cleanly. Prep removes tough or soiled parts and sizes pieces for even cooking. Cook with methods that suit moisture—high heat for browning, brief blanch for green vegetables, long braise for hardy roots.
