ALL ABOUT THIS SQUASH

Turk’s Turban winter squash (Cucurbita maxima) is a striking heirloom variety with a vibrant, turban-shaped appearance. Its colorful, mottled skin boasts shades of orange, red, white, and green, making it a standout for autumn displays. The golden-orange flesh offers a sweet, nutty flavor with a smooth, floury texture, perfect for roasting, baking, soups, or stuffing. Typically 8-10 inches in diameter and weighing about 5 pounds, this squash stores well, lasting through winter. Rich in vitamin A, beta-carotene, and potassium, it’s as nutritious as it is versatile.
