Black Forest Kabocha Squash

Certified Organic

Cucurbita maxima

Extraordinarily sweet, dry, cake-like flesh.

A uniform kabocha, with deep green skin and golden orange dense flesh. Plants produce about 4 fruits per plant, weighing 3-4 pounds each. Delicious roasted alone, or in soups; even the skin is tasty! One of the best tasting squashes we offer.
