Cucurbita moschata Duchesne
Butternut squash features dense flesh with high sugar content and a musky aroma, making it suitable for consumption without heat treatment.
In the reference 8 varieties crop Butternut squash, where this is mentioned in the description.
The flesh of butternut squash is characterized by a tender texture and a fruity-nutty aroma, which distinguishes it favorably from other squash species. In club-shaped varieties, the seed cavity occupies a small part of the fruit, and the 'neck' is filled with dense flesh, ensuring a high yield of product that is convenient for slicing and preparing salads or juices.
A technological feature of the crop is the soft rind, which is easily peeled with a standard kitchen knife. It is important to note that immediately after harvest, the flesh may not be sweet enough; however, during storage, ripening occurs, accompanied by sugar accumulation and flavor intensification, which makes the fruits more suitable for fresh use.
