Waltham Butternut Squash is the most popular winter squash on the market for good reason — the peanut-shaped, tan-skinned fruits have a small seed cavity and dense, sweet, richly orange flesh with a natural nuttiness that makes exceptional soups, roasted sides, and curries. Developed at the University of Massachusetts in Waltham, this variety stores beautifully for months and actually improves in sweetness after curing, making it one of the finest long-term pantry squashes available to the home gardener.
