DESCRIPTION

Butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata), known in Australia and New Zealand as butternut pumpkin or gramma, is a type of winter squash that grows on a vine. It has a sweet, nutty taste similar to that of a pumpkin. It has tan-yellow skin and orange fleshy pulp with a compartment of seeds in the blossom end. When ripe, it turns increasingly deep orange, and becomes sweeter and richer. It is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium; and it is a source of vitamin A.

Ajowan is a member of the large Apiaceae family (formerly Umbelliferae) and a
close relative of both parsley and caraway. Native to India and the eastern
Mediterranean region, it is now also grown in Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, and
Pakistan, but India remains the major source. It is an annual herbaceous plant
that resembles parsley; its seeds are tiny, ridged, and oval, looking like celery
seeds, and range from light brown to grayish-green in color.
