The remarkable diversity was already present in pre- Columbian times.

It is sometimes referred to as an avocado squash. The flesh is very smooth and dry. As a summer squash it does not give off a lot of excess water like a zucchini does. As a winter squash it is dry, semi sweet and a relatively short keeper. It is often used in cooking-soups, pies, etc. This would be an excellent squash to have back in major circulation.
