Acorn Squash Wallpapers

Acorn squash (Cucurbita pepo var. turbinata), also called pepper squash or Des Moines squash, is a winter squash with distinctive longitudinal ridges and sweet, yellow-orange flesh.

Although considered a winter squash, acorn squash belongs to the same species as all summer squashes (including zucchini and yellow crookneck squash).

Acorn Squash is commonly mistaken for a gourd.

The most common variety is dark green in color, often with a single splotch of orange on the side or top.
