Delicata - Organic Winter Squash Seeds

Delicata is the little loaf-pan squash with big flavor—cream-colored fruits striped green, sized just right to split and roast into caramel-edged “boats.” The skin cooks tender and edible, so every slice brings sweet, nutty flesh plus a bit of toasty chew. Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1894, it nearly disappeared mid-century, then came roaring back as home gardeners—and modern disease-resistant selections—rediscovered how practical and delicious it is. Compact vines set early, personal-size fruits that roast in under an hour and shine stuffed, sliced for sheet-pan dinners, or tossed warm with brown butter, sage, maple, or chili and lime. Naturally rich in fiber and potassium with a modest dose of vitamin A.
