Origin
Yellow squashes, also known as summer squashes, are believed to have originated in the Americas, particularly in Central and South America. They were cultivated by Native American tribes long before the arrival of Europeans. The exact origin of yellow squashes is difficult to pinpoint, as they have been grown and consumed by indigenous peoples for thousands of years. Today, yellow squashes are widely cultivated and enjoyed in many parts of the world.
