Plump Hokkaido Pumpkin
Hokkaido squash, also known as red kuri pumpkin, is a rounded winter squash recognizable by its teardrop-like shape and shallow vertical ridges. A delicate, spiraling vine winds away from the top stem, highlighting how this vegetable grows along ground-crawling garden runners.
Fascinating Facts About Hokkaido Squash
Unlike many pumpkin varieties, the thin outer skin of a Hokkaido squash becomes completely tender when cooked, meaning it does not need to be peeled before eating. Originating from Japan, this cold-hardy winter squash matures in late summer and can be safely stored in cool cellars for several months.
