When searching for the perfect butternut squash to cook with, look for one that sounds a bit hollow when you knock on it. This hollow sound helps us know that the squash inside has been fully ripened and is ready to eat. Additionally, the outside of the squash should have a beige cast. Steer clear of butternut squash that has a greenish hue, as it is probably not ready to eat.
