The Instacart guide to squash

While we often think of squash as a vegetable, it's technically a fruit and is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family. Botanically, when a fruit or vegetable has seeds on the inside, like squash, apples, peaches, cucumbers, and tomatoes, it's a fruit. Vegetables come from a plant's root, stem, or leaves, such as carrots, lettuce, broccoli, and potatoes. Even though squash is botanically a fruit, it's generally cooked as a vegetable. Â
