About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

Probably the most popular culinary squash in the home garden and a true all rounder. The onion shaped, bright orange red fruits weigh one to two kilos and you can cook them with the skin on, which saves peeling and gives soup a lovely colour. The firm, yellow orange flesh tastes nutty like chestnuts and suits soup, roasted vegetables and purée. Stored cool and dry, the fruit keeps for several months.

Dense, nutty flesh with a distinct chestnut note and a mild hint of sweetness.
