Sunburst Squash

A very young and small acorn shaped, summer squash that develops a smooth outer skin accented with a scalloped edging around the middle outside of the squash as it matures. Considered to be a summer scallop squash, this vegetable can be steamed, sautéed or boiled, providing a flesh with a delicately mild flavor. This squash is often used as an appetizer with dip, or as an ingredient to be added to salads, soups, and stews.
