We are now harvesting patty pan squash and kousa squash. “Patty pan or scallop squash could more accurately be called "flying saucer" squash because of its appearance—and, in fact, it sometimes is. Some say these little squashes look like Scottish tams. The patty pan is small, round and flat, with edges that resemble an alien spacecraft. It might be yellow, white, or green.” (The Spruce). Kousa or Cousa squash is a pale-colored zucchini variety purportedly of Middle Eastern or West Asian descent. It is shorter and more squat than classic zucchini, in a mix of pale and medium green striations. It has thin skin with a light texture and slightly sweet flavor. Prepare it just as you would any other variety of summer squash. #harvest #harvesttime #squash #kousasquash #cousasquash #squashvarieties #pattypansquash #scallopsquash #summersquash #farmlife #farmersmarket #farmfood #foodie #foodiesofinstagram #foodstagram #foodphotography #vegetables #eatlocal #locavore #healthyfood #eathealthy #eatyourveggies #gullahgeechee #veteranownedfarm #veteranfarmer (at Morning Glory Homestead) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOKdVHldRa/?igshid=1a0wniwz0kd94
