Edible parts

Fruits

Recipe idea for your organic spaghetti squash harvest. Turn the squash flesh into soup. Cut the fruit with a suitable knife on a stable board, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh. Sauté an onion in a pot with a little oil, then add the squash pieces. Pour in just enough broth to cover the vegetables and simmer until the flesh is tender. Blend, adding liquid gradually to adjust thickness. A small diced apple can accompany sweet-fleshed squash. When serving, add a spoonful of plain yogurt, pepper, and some fresh herbs to your liking. The size of the pieces influences cooking more than their exact shape. Check several pieces before removing the dish from the heat, especially if your harvest includes fruits of different sizes. Moist flesh sometimes requires a little more evaporation; denser flesh may require more liquid.
