Description
This is one of the tastier winter squashes with creamy pulp that tastes a bit like sweet potatoes, hence the other common name, 'Sweet Potato Squash'. Elongated fruit are 7 to 10 inches long, pale cream in color with green stripes and flecks. Thinner skin than some other winter squashes reduces the storage potential to about a month, but oh what flavor!
