Table Queen Acorn Squash is a specific cultivar of acorn squash, known for its smaller size, making it perfect for single servings, and its tender, sweet flesh. This variety, with its dark green skin, has been celebrated for its rich flavor and is ideal for both culinary uses and for its storability, allowing for a leisurely consumption through the cooler months. While its exact origin story might be wrapped in some mystery, it's clear that it has connections to Des Moines, Iowa, where it was once referred to as Des Moines squash, hinting at its historical cultivation and commercialization in the region.


Winter squash, which includes varieties like acorn, butternut, and spaghetti squash, is characterized by its mature, hard rind and seeds, making it ideal for storage over winter. These squashes are typically harvested at the end of the growing season, are often sweeter, and have a denser, richer flesh. On the other hand, summer squash, which includes zucchini and yellow crookneck, are harvested when immature, with soft skin that's often eaten. They have a higher water content, less sweetness, and a shorter storage life, needing to be consumed soon after picking. The key distinction lies in their use and lifecycle; winter squash is designed by nature for long-term storage, while summer squash is for immediate consumption, reflecting their respective growing seasons and culinary applications.
