Summer squash is a variety that is less mature and smaller, and should be eaten sooner, while winter squash is more mature and can be kept and eaten at a later date.

Storing squash is based on its variety. Because its skin is thinner, summer squash will not keep as long as winter squash.

In North America, squash are loosely grouped into summer squash or winter squash, as well as autumn squash (another name is cheese squash) depending on whether they are harvested as immature fruits (summer squash) or mature fruits (autumn squash or winter squash). Gourds are from the same family as squash
