Butternut Farming

Butternut squash is a type of winter squash that belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, which also includes pumpkins, zucchinis, and cucumbers. It has a bell-like shape with a bulbous bottom and a long, cylindrical neck.

Butternuts and pumpkins are often confused because they belong to the same family and share some similarities in appearance but differ in shape, colour, flavour, texture and seed cavity.
