0.31 kg

Tips:

• When buying, look for firm squash that is richly coloured and that feels heavy for its size. 

• When preparing squash, make sure you are on a surface that is not slippery - use a tea towel to sturdy your chopping board if needed.

• To cut the squash, use a heavy duty knife or clever and follow the natural ridges to cut wedges. Carve the seeds out with a spoon.

• Acorn squash has a very thick skin, so the best way to cook it is to slice it and bake it skin-on. 

• Food waste tip: Save the seeds, wash them and roast them with a little oil and salt for a crunchy snack.
