Also known as Japanese pumpkins, kabocha squash is considered to be one of the sweetest in the squash/pumpkin family with a texture similar to a sweet potato. It comes in dark green or a striking orange/red with the red being the sweeter of the two. When cooked, the rind is soft enough to eat (which is nice since they’re not always fun to peel) and contains lots of vitamins and minerals.
