Mediterranean Cue Ball Squash

These cute, round squashes are super fun to grow and even more fun to eat!

Because of its round shape, Cue Ball Squash is sometimes confused as a winter squash or even a gourd. However, this squash is a Summer Squash. Like other summer squashes, their skin is edible and can be cooked like you would a yellow squash or zucchini.
