Organic Delicata Winter Squash
95 days to harvest
Cucurbita pepo
Description
HEIRLOOM Lusciously sweet and perfectly sized for the plate, delicata also has thin, delectable skin making supper deliciously simple. Organic Delicata Winter Squash is always the first we savor; most winter squash only becomes sweet after curing, but delicata is sweet right out of the field. Alas, no matter how well delicata is grown, harvested and cured, she only stores a few months, so savor her before New Years and enjoy every bite!
