SQUASHES /PUMPKINS/ CALABAZA
Squash varieties are grouped as summer or winter types, depending on days to maturity and harvest periods. As the names suggest, summer squashes mature for fresh eating in the summer, while winter squashes can be stored for eating well into the winter months. our squash selection includes a wide diversity of bush and vining forms; adaptation and disease resistance; certified-organic, treated and untreated seed; and fruit size, shape, and color — all with superb flavor. Quite different in appearance from the Western orange pumpkins used most notably for Jack-O-Lanterns in the United States.

The Japanese prepare the sweet flesh by simmering peeled chunks in chicken broth and dashi and flavoring with sugar, soy sauce and salt. The "one serving" size kabocha is very popular in Japan.
