I bought an acorn squash last weekend, and now I'm trying to eat raw as much as possible. Is there a way to prepare it without cooking it? Thanks!

Raw winter squash is so good. I juice it usually with coconut then recombine it into a sort of raw soup.

Thanks, yours sounds so good too, just like that, I couldn't improve on it.

My biggest winter squash just got eaten green by a deer so I built the fence another notch taller hoping for a garden butternut squash or two at least, as the growing season ends shortly. How about a recipe for green butternut squash? Seriously, the veggies that haven't quite ripened by the end of the season I usually find a way to use, in this case somehow like a summer squash. A touch of sea salt and cinnamon maybe...

Loeve, you juice the coconut? What sort of juicer do you use for that? I have a centrifical sort and the single screw type as well. The second one struggles with mature coconut and produces an amazingly fatty creme. I wonder about the other kind...

Squash soup come winter sounds divine tongue sticking out smiley.

For the green squash, do you do any fermenting? Might be interesting.

Coco,

The centifugal might struggle with mature coconut too but it's useful yeilding a little coconut cream and lots of coconut flour.

Always open to fermenting, finding coconuts often well on their way when cracked open, the last one like that making a pleasent cheezy meal. Hmmm, pickled green squash? I've done that with watermelon rind. I'm willing to just juice these things but it's not like a thoughtfully prepared dish.

I'm always open to questioning unripe fruit (i.e. pineapple burn) though the immature fruit zucchini has quite a tradition in the raw movement.

There's no reason that I have read or heard about not to eat squash raw, if there's something you know Teresa please do share...
