UK and Italian Squash 🍂

Squash season is well under way, and we have a selection of UK and Italian squash in stock from our friends at Bedlam & Lorenzini Naturamica.

All of them have edible skin, so all you need to do is cut, scoop out the seeds and get to cooking! They are delicious when roasted and would be a perfect addition on any autumnal dish or even as décor!

Onion Squash: It has a rich, velvety texture and is great sliced and roasted with olive oil as well as for soups.

Crown Prince: This variety is very popular, versatile and can also store for a long time. Again, they can be roasted, mashed and used in soups.

Harlequin: This green and pale-yellow striped squash has a pleasing grooved and slightly pointed tail, giving it its harlequin name. It has quite a sweet taste and is also great sliced or roasted.

Delicata: Delicata’s elongated shape lends itself to use as you would a marrow. With its mild, fragrant flesh and creamy texture, this small squash is easy to prepare; bake and eat it skin and all, no need to peel.

Turks Turban: This stripy turban shaped squash has a slightly more robust texture than a marrow and a delicate taste. It’s a perfect one for peeling, chopping and roasting for autumnal salads.

Violina: The Italian Violina pumpkin is oblong-shaped and is slightly narrowed in the centre. When cut in half, its shape resembles a violin, distinguishing it from other squash. The pulp is orange with a firm texture and has a very pleasant flavour and a hazelnut aftertaste.
