Squash
Canadian crookneck butternut
Very productive butternut variety that holds well in storage when properly cured.
It is excellent in soups, exquisite as chips and fries and so sweet it can be used instead of sweet potato in your recipes. Not all necks are curved. The bulbous end is easily cut into two perfectly sized bowls that are a fun and delicious way to serve stuffed squash.
Germination rate 90%. 2015 All Comox Valley Winner. Cucurbita moschata.
Red Kuri Squash (HOKKAIDO)
This is a Japanese type Hubbard (red kuri). Stores until December after harvest. A deep orange skin with cream coloured flesh. A great tasting winter squash popular in Japanese and Thai dishes, the flesh is flavourful and firm, but never stringy.
