 - Peel edible – after cooking or frying
- Thin shell for easy processing
- Versatile – from savory to sweet

Preparation & Use

- Boiled or fried : tender & aromatic with an edible peel
- Raw vegetable salads : crisp and fresh (please peel for this)
- Ideal for soups, purees, casseroles or as oven-roasted vegetables
 - Also a delight in sweet creations, e.g. cakes or desserts.

Butternut squash not only scores points with its delicate texture and mild, sweet taste, but also with its easy preparation – a squash that should be in every kitchen.

❤️What we care about ❤️
To be clear again: the natural fruits we send you are generally not available at this stage of ripeness, without ethylene fumigation and toxic anti-mold dipping baths. And for good reason:
As producers, we lose a significant portion of our production due to late harvesting. Some fruits may not "make it" to transport, and you're also experiencing the delicate balance between ripe fruit and natural decay.
The taste, however, is convincing!
Be clear: You're ordering natural fruit, not industrial goods. We don't oppose the natural coexistence that should exist in an ecosystem. With us, you won't find a monoculture plantation, but rather a large "garden" in harmony with nature. An oasis for humans and animals. Therefore, it's important to store the fruit in a cool, dry place (1-6°C in the refrigerator).
You'll truly taste the love we put into growing our fruit. ❤
