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.
