Golden Acorn Squash:

Gold acorn squash is small to medium in size, averaging 12-20 centimetres in length and 10-12 centimetres in diameter, and is ovoid in shape with a tapered point at the bottom and a small green, prickly stem. The orange to yellow skin is smooth and firm with a few thick, ridges running the length of the squash. The yellow flesh is moist, spongy and has a hollow center with a slippery webbing of pulp that encases many flat, beige seeds. When cooked, Gold acorn squash is tender and has a sweet, nutty flavor.
