Raw winter squash???

I know raw butternut squash is excellent, and I was wondering if any other varieties were also as soft and sweet raw.

They are too expensive to buy without knowing for sure…

I cut acorn squash into cubes and toss with a bit of salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and dates paste then dehydrate briefly (like 1-2 hours on 105) This gives it an almost cooked richess. Then I throw it in the high speed and whip it up with some carrots or sweet potato a tiny clove of garlic(optional) and a splash of olive oil (sometimes a cumin depending on the mood). Blend until it’s the consistanacy of a think spread or pate…. it’s amazing!

Dinner guest love it – rawbies or not. You can also add extra cocnut milk, nut milk or just water to make it a hearty winter soup….mmmmmm…might have to get a squash this weekend.

p.s. I do not recommend spaghetti squash. bleeeech that was a disaster. i had to throw it away – and I never throw food away!

Happy Squashing!

IMO, steer clear of the flattish round orange ones with the different colored bottom. kalabasa? not sure. just know it was too dry and yuck and ended up in the compost after hanging around for too long :) not like butternut
