Thanks for reaching out! Spotting a spaghetti squash can be tricky, but look for a yellow, oval-shaped squash with a firm rind. If you're still having trouble, don't hesitate to ask a store employee for assistance! Your help means a lot!

When looking for spaghetti squash in the grocery store, you'll typically find them in the produce section, usually near other types of squash like butternut or acorn squash. They are oval-shaped with a pale yellow color and have a smooth, slightly shiny skin. Spaghetti squash are generally medium to large in size, averaging around 4-8 pounds. To ensure you're picking a ripe one, give it a gentle press - it should feel firm and heavy for its size.
