Butternut Squash varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common butternut squash varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Butternut (standard)	Everyday roasting, soup, and curry: sweet orange flesh that purées smoothly, the all-purpose supermarket squash.
Waltham	Pies and roasts where flavour matters: heirloom benchmark with deep, sweet, nutty flesh.
Honeynut	Single servings and roasting whole: palm-sized mini version with very sweet, concentrated flesh.
Crown Prince	Roasting and gnocchi: blue-grey skin and denser, drier flesh that holds its shape and substitutes well for butternut.

Which should I pick?

For everyday roasting, soup, and curry, the standard Butternut is the supermarket default: sweet orange flesh that purées smoothly. No Butternut? Crown Prince has denser, drier flesh that roasts beautifully. For pies and small portions, Honeynut is a palm-sized version with concentrated sweetness. Waltham is the classic heirloom benchmark for flavour when you can find it.
