From Our Gardeners
Kabocha type winter squash is known for its hard, dark green rind, squat pumpkin-like shape, and vibrant yellow-orange flesh with a dense, dry texture and rich sweetness reminiscent of sweet potato and chestnut. This squash is highly versatile, commonly used in roasting, steaming, soups, tempura, and even baked goods and desserts due to its ability to absorb flavors and maintain its shape when cooked.
