Straightneck squash

Straightneck squash is a type of summer squash characterized by its smooth, straight, and slender neck that connects to a bulbous base. The skin of straightneck squash is typically yellow, and it can be either smooth or slightly bumpy. This squash is harvested while still immature, which means its flesh is tender and the seeds are small and soft, making it ideal for a variety of culinary uses.

Straightneck squash is similar in flavor and texture to other types of summer squash, such as zucchini and crookneck squash. It can be eaten raw, sautéed, grilled, roasted, or used in casseroles and other dishes. Its mild flavor makes it versatile and a good addition to a variety of recipes, from salads to stir-fries.
