About Yellow pattypan squash
Two crops share this heading and they behave nothing alike. Hard winter squash — acorn, butternut, spaghetti, kabocha, delicata, calabaza — is a storage item shipped in heavy cases that holds for weeks after delivery. Soft summer squash — green and yellow, gold bar, pattypan — is a perishable cut every few days and shipped in much smaller cases. Our reference has Mexico covering the cold months, with New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Ontario and Quebec taking over when the Northeast is in the field, so the origin behind a squash quote changes several times over a year.
Buying notes
Winter squash is quoted in thirty to forty pound cases and summer squash in five to eighteen pound, and chayote and calabaza sit with the heavy pack even though they sell into different kitchens. Green and yellow squash are also carried as a half case and a six-count, which is what a restaurant ordering twice a week actually takes.
