Squash Acorn

What is Squash Acorn?

A small, ridged, acorn-shaped winter squash with sweet, mildly nutty orange flesh and edible skin once roasted.

Halved and roasted, stuffed, or cubed for soups and traybakes; the hollow cavity suits stuffing with grains or cheese.

Squash Acorn wholesale price in the UK

As of April 27, 2026, the wholesale quote for squash acorn in the UK market is about £1.62 — it's held close to flat at that level across the past 12 months.

That puts today right around where it's been all year — nothing unusual to plan around.

Why the number moves

UK produce moves through the wholesale markets — New Covent Garden and the regional markets — fed by British growers in season and by Spanish, Dutch and other imports out of season. That's why a case rate on squash acorn can shift week to week.

It's held pretty steady across the year. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Seasonality in the UK

British and European winter squash are in season from autumn into early winter (September to December); stored stock extends supply.

Per case or per kilo?

Produce is sold by the case, with a per-kilo rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.

Heavy, hard-skinned squash with no soft spots stores for weeks; price per kg is keen during the autumn glut.
