Red kuri squash
An orange squash with a chestnut taste, with skin that is edible once cooked.
Red kuri squash is a top-shaped squash with bright orange skin. Its dense, sweet flesh has a characteristic chestnut flavour, hence its name. Its thin skin is eaten once cooked, which simplifies preparation. It is cooked in velouté, purée, roasted, in a gratin or in dessert.
