butternut pumpkin
Beige autumn vegetable
Butternut pumpkin is the Australian and New Zealand name for butternut squash—a tan, bell-shaped winter squash with sweet orange flesh.
It's roasted, pureed into soups, or added to curries and salads: I'm making butternut pumpkin soup for dinner.
The pumpkin terminology reflects different regional classifications of the cucurbit family.
