summer squash
Crookneck or pattypan
Summer squash is a variety of squash harvested while immature, when the rind is still tender and edible.
Unlike winter squash, which develops a hard shell for storage, summer squash—including zucchini, yellow crookneck, and pattypan—is eaten fresh and doesn't keep long: We grilled summer squash from the garden.
