    I don't bother peeling it...just scrub real well .

    You eat the skin? Or do you cut it off after cooking?

    I know the poster you were talking to already answered, but from the other side of this very important question -- I eat the skin and enjoy it! You can try both and see which you prefer. :)

    Ditto.

    Generally, nutrients concentrate near the skin in most vegetables - so when the skin is edible you get more bang for your buck if you eat it.

    I tried delicata which is great. It's creamy like buttery sweet potatoes. Still favor butternut. I also tried carnival squash yesterday which is good. I'll try buttercup squash next weekend.

    Yep, I eat the skin. That's butternut squash; for acorn squash & other varieties, I tend to roast it in the skin, cut in half, & eat the flesh out of the skin but not the skin itself. But BNS, yes.

    Roast with coconut oil, salt, pepper - so good, like candy. :)
