yellow squash

Golden summer gourd

Yellow squash is a summer squash with bright yellow skin and mild, slightly sweet flesh.

The most common varieties are crookneck, with a curved neck, and straightneck.

Unlike winter squashes, yellow squash has tender, edible skin and is harvested young: I sautéed some yellow squash and zucchini as a side dish.
