An ancient squash with chestnut flavor: discover this heirloom variety!

Delve into history with this very old squash variety, introduced to the United States in 1894 by the renowned seed company Peter Henderson of New York. This semi-bush plant, with its generous production, offers fruits weighing between 0.5 and 1 kg. Imagine savoring a squash with a unique taste, reminiscent of sweet chestnut!

Their creamy skin is beautifully striped with dark green, contrasting with their firm, sweet, and flavorful orange-yellow flesh. Once cooked, their taste delicately recalls that of chestnut, offering a comforting autumnal taste experience. Although they do not store as long as other varieties, their exceptional flavor fully justifies their cultivation. Grow our organic seeds of this heirloom squash and rediscover flavors of the past.
