Red Kuri

AKA "ウチキクリ" in Japan, "potimarron" in France, and "onion squash" in the UK. A thin-skinned reddish-orange colored winter squash that looks like a small teardrop-shaped pumpkin without the ridges. It belongs to the Hubbard squash group. It is said that Saichiro Matsumoto of Kanazawa brought this squash back from Fukushima in northern Japan, in 1933. Inside the hard outer skin there is a firm flesh that provides a very delicate and mellow chestnut-like flavor. 5-8 lbs. Drought tolerant. 92 days.
