Butternut squash, also known as butternut pumpkin, is a traditional ingredient in many Latin American and world cuisines. Its sweet flavor and smooth texture make it ideal for baked dishes, stews, and purées. In countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina, this squash is highly valued and is part of homemade recipes passed down from generation to generation. Depending on the country, it may be called calabaza mantequilla, butternut squash, or simply winter squash.
