Shokichi Shiro (F1) mini kabocha seeds

This winter squash is new on the market and is a new relative to the kabocha family. This little guy has light grey skin and is round with a thick stem. When prepping this squash, you may want to cook 1 per person as they are relatively small weighing in at approx. 1 lb. The flesh is a dark yellow to golden orange with a smooth granulated texture and a sweet chestnut flavor. This squash would best find its role in Autumn bisque, Fall desserts, deep-fried, or dehydrated for puppy treats!

This squash is perfect for trellising due to its incredibly lightweight fruit. You can expect your squash within 100 days from seed to harvest. This squash is resistant to powdery mildew! Since this is a Winter squash, you can expect a long shelf life as well, up to 3 months.
