Calabacita squash has a delicate, slightly sweet flavor and tender bite that makes it one of the easiest vegetables to work into the week. Slice it into quick sautés, tuck it into breakfast tacos, simmer it into soups, or grill it until lightly charred and buttery-soft.

Harvested locally in Texas at peak season, this squash brings fresh summer flavor without much prep. It cooks quickly, plays well with bold spices and herbs, and adds color, texture, and vegetable goodness to everyday meals.
