Winter Squash - Gem (Seed)
C. pepo - Much loved heirloom from South Africa. Dark green tennis ball size fruit, which can be eaten as either a summer or winter squash. Young fruit are delicious sliced and fried like zucchini; almost buttery in flavour and texture. By Autumn, the fully mature fruit develop rich orange flesh and hard shells. Cut them in half and bake them, the half-shells are perfect bowls. 20 seeds
