Tips:

• When buying, look for smaller squash as these are likely to have fewer seeds. Search for ones that are bright coloured, firm and that feel heavy for their size.

• Summer squash includes a whole range of squash varieties including zucchini, yellow squash, Pattypan, Cousa, Zephyr and more.

• Summer squash differs from winter squash because its soft thin skin is edible, so no need to peel.

• Squash’s high water content means it can get soggy when cooked. If you prefer firm and crisp squash, favour high heat cooking methods.
