Butternut Squash - Organic

£3.80

Curvaceous Butternut, the most popular variety of squash, with a clean, creamy flavour. They’re easy to tackle in the kitchen, with the highest proportion of edible flesh to seeds and cavity, and thin skin; a good veg peeler will do the trick. Squash doubles up as a decoration as you store it, looking full of colour and promise on a kitchen shelf.

How to prepare

Roasting squash gives a dish of glorious colours and deep, sweet flavours. Good as a starter, drizzled with yogurt and chilli oil; as a side, mashed with nutmeg, salt and butter; or stirred into risotto just before the rice is cooked.

Alternatively, squash is an excellent candidate for being stuffed and baked whole, or simmered in hearty stews, curries and soups.

Storage

Keep squash warm and dry. Enjoy their decorative qualities by storing them on a kitchen shelf. They should last several months. Once cut, keep them in the fridge and use within a week.

Riverford’s produce is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, allowing the plants (and the soil they grow in) to thrive naturally. You’ll taste the difference: vibrant colours, proper flavour, and fruit and veg that’s packed with goodness because it’s picked in season, not forced to grow fast.

Good Food with Good Values

Beyond the veg itself, Riverford stands for fairness to farmers, to wildlife, and to the planet. From soil regeneration to minimal packaging and fair pay, every box supports a food system that’s kinder, more sustainable, and built to last.
