Jester F1 Delicata Squash seeds

SKU: JD5902

Meet Jester, a visually captivating and compact squash with a unique tapered design at both ends. Renowned for its exquisite taste, Jester delivers a harmonious blend of corn, chestnut, and subtle notes of brown sugar. The cream-colored skin adorned with deep green stripes inside the ribs adds to its visual allure. Aptly named "delicata" for its thin skin, this squash can be enjoyed entirely, translating to "delicate" in its preparation.

 

Expect an impressive yield of 6-7 squash per vine, offering versatility in your culinary endeavors. Whether microwaved, baked, sautéed, or savored raw, Jester squash caters to various cooking preferences. Ideal for gluten-free or vegan diets, these squash gems can be hollowed out and filled with your favorite veggies or salads, making them a delectable and health-conscious addition to your kitchen.
