Why you'll love butternut squash

Butternut squash, also known in Australia and New Zealand as “butternut pumpkin” or “gramma,” is a vine-grown winter squash that brings depth of flavour and a rich nutrient profile to your kitchen. Its dense orange pulp is sweet, soulful and satisfying. 

Whether roasted until caramelised, puréed for silky soups, or cubed for stir-fries and casseroles, fresh butternut squash adapts brilliantly. Many chef-style listings highlight its “sweet, nutty” taste and “versatile for both sweet and savoury dishes.”

How to cook & store

Roast it: Peel and cube the butternut squash, toss with olive oil, sea salt and herbs, then roast until golden for a delicious side dish or salad topper.

Soup or purée: Simmer cubes until tender, then blend into a rich and creamy soup — its nut-like sweetness adds a gourmet finish.

Storage: Choose a squash with smooth, firm skin and no soft spots. It stores best in a cool, dark place and lasts several weeks.
