Description

Enjoy a gourmet winter squash with our Delicata Squash seeds. This beloved heirloom, often called "sweet potato squash," is prized for its exceptionally sweet, rich flavor and smooth, creamy texture. The oblong, 1-2 pound fruits have beautiful cream-colored skin with green and orange stripes. One of its best features is its thin, tender skin, which is completely edible and does not require peeling before roasting. The small size makes it perfect for stuffing and serving as individual portions.
