Mache
Mache has been cultivated in France since the 17th century, and in France it is known as doucette. It is also known as "lamb's lettuce" because its leaves resemble the size and shape of a lamb's tongue.
Iceberg Lettuce
It is the only lettuce type that does not occur in red form as well as green. Iceberg is the given name to dozens of cultivars of lettuce, all of which are adapted to specific planting regions and time periods.
Grower
Butternut squash is available year round.
The Butternut is the most widely grown winter squash. A member of the cucurbitaceae family, this large group includes not only squash, but also gourds and pumpkins.
Producing a rich, golden-yellow flesh with excellent texture, Butternut squash is one of the most popular varieties of hard winter squash. Butternuts are a smooth, long-necked bowling pin- or bell-shaped squash, encased with a pinkish-tan, hard rind. Having a relatively small seed cavity in its bulbous end, the tender flesh offers a creamy flavor. This old favorite offers fine eating and consistent flavor. Yielding more meat than most other squashes, Butternuts weigh two to five pounds.
All squashes provide vitamin A and vitamin C, some of the B vitamins, and are a good source of fiber. One cup of cooked squash has about 100 calories. Deep-colored squashes have the most beta carotene.
To prepare, cut rinsed squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds. Bake, roast, steam, braise, sautee or puree. This squash is ideal for soups and stews. To store, keep whole squash at room temperature. Butternut squash is an excellent keeper. Wrap cut pieces in plastic; refrigerate up to five days.
Native to the Western Hemisphere, butternut squash is a member of the gourd family and is of the genus Cucurbita moschata. In the United States, Florida is the largest squash-producing state with California ranking a close second.
