THE PIE VEGETABLES
Tho«e winter-time
favorites-pumpkins and
■quash-can be used in many
ways, but with the holidays
coining up, they are certain
to turn up in pies.
While either fresh or
canned pumpkins or squash
can be used for holiday pies,
the canned products are
most convenient. The U. S.
Department of Agriculture
has two grade standards for
these products. U. S. Grade
A or U.S. Fancy is the
highest quality. It has a good
color and consistency; is
practically free of defects;
and possesses a normal
flavor. U.S. Grade C. or U.S.
Standard (the second grade)
is also of good quality. It has
a fairly good color and
consistency, is fairly free of
defects; and has a normal
flavor.
The USDA also has grade
standards for fresh winter
squash, but these grades are
used mainly in the wholesale
market. The fresh squash
you buy at the supermarket
probably won’t be grade

labeled. For consumers who
enjoy making pie from fresh
winter squash, the USDA
offers these tips to help you
choose:
Be sure the squash is fully
matured, which is indicated
by a hard tough rind. Also
look for squash that is heavy
for its size (meaning a thick
wall and a more edible
flesh).
Avoid squash with cuts,
punctures, sunken spots, or
moldy spots on the rind.
These are indications of
decay. A tender rind in
dicates immaturity, and is a
sign of poor eating quality in
winter squash varieties.
There are many varieties
of fresh winter squash. Some
of the more important
varieties are the small
corrugated Acorn, But
ternut, Buttercup, green and
blue Hubbard, green and
gold Delicious, and Banana.
There are no grade
standards for fresh pum
pkins but the same general
buying criteria can be ap
plied. They should be heavy
for their size, free of
