Tomato and Winter Squash Month

Tomato and Winter Squash Month is observed throughout December. The supplied evidence does not identify the month’s founder, origin, or specific purpose.

Tomatoes are used in soups, sauces, salads, and main dishes, while winter squash are harvested at full maturity and develop hard rinds that allow them to be stored through much of the winter. Well-known varieties include acorn, butternut, buttercup, spaghetti, and Turk’s turban squash. The University of Missouri Extension’s overview also notes that winter squash may be used as food or decoration.

How to Observe Tomato and Winter Squash Month

Celebrate by preparing a meal featuring tomatoes or winter squash. Try a variety of winter squash, learn how its mature rind helps it keep through winter, or explore the many ways tomatoes are used in cooking. You could also use colorful squash as seasonal decoration before cooking it later, provided it remains uncut and suitable for eating.
