Spaghetti Squash (Cucurbita pepo)
This squash has a mild and sweet taste. It has the particularity of having a flesh which, after cooking, comes off in long filaments similar to spaghetti! It can therefore be used as a substitute for pasta. Productive and easy to grow, the fruits measure 25 to 30 cm and are a beautiful golden yellow when ripe. Stores well after harvest.
The vast majority of our seeds are produced on our farm. However, if the cultivation of a variety fails or if it is out of stock, we source from other seed companies to ensure an interesting selection. This is the case for this variety.
