Red Kuri Squash

Cucurbita maxima. House Favorite! A lovely, teardrop shaped mini Japanese winter squash with bright orange skin that can weight 1-2kgs. Kuri is Japanese for chestnut, a tribute to its nutty flavor. Also known as ‘Orange Hokkaido’, its smooth consistency, rich sweet flavor, and deep color make it a favorite for any traditional squash or pumpkin dish. it can be simply sliced, steamed, or baked. Compact 4′-6′ vines produce well even in cool or short-season climates. A great yielding and keeping variety.
