When many people hear the word “marrow”, they
immediately think of bone marrow, but there is another
dietary staple in some parts of the world called “marrow”

actually a type of summer squash native to Mexico and
North America. Along with being a specific type
of vegetable, it is also a catch-all term for a variety of
thin, summer squash varieties in Great Britain.
Scientifically, it is known as Cucurbita
pepo subsp. pepo, and it is typically green in color,
somewhat like a fat zucchini. It has stripes and a
soft skin, as well as soft flesh inside. Most people prefer
to eat smaller marrow, as they tend to be more flavorful,
more nutrient-dense, and less watery.
