Winter Squash – Little Gem

Winter Squash – Marina di Chioggia
£5.99
(3 Plug Plants)Decorative and deliciously tasty
We like this one for a Hallowe’en display with its brilliant knobbly skin! Don’t carve it though as it is a great storer and best eaten in the winter months long after harvesting. The fruits are quite big (around 4-5kg) with vivid orange flesh that roasts well. Cut into chunky wedges and roast with the skin on, then peel when cooked.
Number of plants: 3 plug plants
Variety: Marina di Chioggia (organic*)
In the kitchen: For a simple and delicious side dish, try baking this winter squash until the flesh is soft. Also brilliant and tasty in soups. Top tip – cut into big chunks and roast – then peel afterwards, it is much easier!
