Kabocha has an exceptional sweet flavor, even sweeter than butternut squash, and some varieties can taste like Russet potatoes or chestnuts. It is similar in texture and flavor to a pumpkin and sweet potato combined, and is hard on the outside with knobbly-looking skin. It is shaped like a squat pumpkin and has a dull-finished, deep-green skin with some celadon-to-white stripes and an intense yellow-orange color on the inside. In many respects it is similar to buttercup squash, but without the characteristic protruding "cup" on the blossom (bottom) end.[citation needed] An average kabocha weighs two to three pounds, but a large squash can weigh as much as eight pounds. Kabocha is commonly utilized in side dishes and soups, or as a substitute for potato or other squash varieties. It can be roasted after cutting the squash in half, scooping out the seeds, and then cutting the squash into wedges. With a little cooking oil and seasoning, it can be baked in the oven.
