Table Queen Acorn Squash(C.pepo )NZ HeritageItis said these squash originated with the Arikara tribe in Noryh Dakota but they have been in NZ for along time. We were sent a very old packet of this seed many years ago by a member and it has turned out to be quite a beauty. They are quite small weighing 1kg and mature early in the season and have a delicious texture and flavour a lot like Delicata..sweet and nutty… which we also love. They are at their best when still dark green, and best when eaten within 2-3 months of harvest, but turn a stunning earth gold colour after that which is very ornamental. They are shaped like acorns, and if they good conditions are super heavy croppers. |
