Organic Brulee Winter Squash
110 days to harvest
Cucurbita moschata
Description
Life is short, eat dessert first!
Super small and super sweet, if you love Honeynut but wish it stored longer and was powdery mildew resistant, meet Brulee. We enjoy her deep into the winter and though she isn’t quite as sweet as Honeynut, her flavor is off the charts compared to a classic butternut. Halved & roasted on a plate, nothing more, is our favorite way to savor Brulee deep in to winter.
