With its striking, steely blue exterior and sweet, vibrant interior, this squash is a beloved staple from the patch to the plate. Originating from South America and brought into the limelight in the early 1900s by James J. H. Gregory, who named it after his laundry woman Mrs. Elizabeth Hubbard, who gave it to him originally.
