Definition of butternut squash
butternut squashnoun
bí nghệ, bí hồ lô
The term "butternut squash" likely originated from its **nutty flavor and its resemblance to a butter nut**. The "butternut" part is a combination of "butter" and "nut", reflecting the squash's creamy texture and flavor profile. The "squash" portion simply refers to the plant's fruit, as it belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, which includes various squashes and gourds. Interestingly, the name was first documented in **1830**, suggesting its popularity as a culinary ingredient was gaining momentum during that time.
