Organic Delicata Squash (Cambridgeshire)

Organic Delicata Squash (per squash). UK grown, currently Cambridgeshire. Delicata squash is a variety of winter squash with cylindrical fruits that are cream-colored and striped in green or orange. As its name suggests, it has characteristically a delicate rind. It is also known as peanut squash, Bohemian squash, or sweet potato squash. It has a thin, tender skin that you do not need to peel, making it much easier to prep and eat than other winter squashes. Once cooked the rind is soft & completely edible, making it much easier to prepare than lots of Winter Squashes. It tastes rich and sweet, similar to a mix of brown sugar, sweet potato, and fresh corn and cooks in about half the time of a standard butternut squash.
