Calabaza

Cucurbita moschata · Squash

Calabaza is the large tropical pumpkin of the Caribbean and Latin America — a heavy, round-to-oblong Cucurbita moschata squash with mottled tan, green or orange skin and dense, deep-orange, sweet flesh. Central to sopa de calabaza, sancocho and countless stews, it is usually sold in cut wedges because a whole one can weigh many kilograms.
