calabasa

A calabasa is a kind of squash commonly eaten in Latin America, the Philippines, and the Caribbean (not to be confused with a calabash). Its use as a food probably originated in prehispanic Mesoamerica and spread to other regions via Spanish colonial influence. It grows about the same size as a pumpkin, with a green or yellow skin color and a yellowy-orange flesh. The taste is smooth and somewhat sweet. It is eaten many different ways, such as in stews, cakes, and candies. Some recipes that call for pumpkin allow calabasa to be used in its place. Calabasa is a good source of Vitamin A.

Calabasas is also a city in California
