Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

April 8 - Squash Trivia:

The Massachusett Native American word for "eaten raw" is "Askutasquash." An important Native American food, few shared the desire to eat squash raw, until the past few years when raw summer squash types began to appear in salads.

Squash was unknown in Europe until early explorers returned from America with squash seeds.

OASIS has much more information on squash.
