FAQ

What is the best way to peel a butternut squash?

Peeling a butternut squash may sound like a difficult task! But no worries, we've got your back! Here is what you need to do:

First, slice off the ends using a sharpened knife.
Then, slice the butternut squash in half between the thinner and widen part.
Turn each half to stand with the flat part resting on the cutting board and peel off the skin downward with the help of a peeler or a knife.
Slice both halves lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Cut the halves into slices and then into cubes.

Now you can rinse the butternut squash cubes, and they're ready to go to your soup pot!
