About this variety

Discover the incredible Meruhen winter squash, originally from Japan. It's a truly special variety with exceptionally sweet and rich flavour—possibly even sweeter than butternut! Its flesh is slightly starchier, giving it a velvety texture that particularly shines in hearty soups and luscious sauces. The fruits are beautifully round, with dark green skin sometimes accented by pale green-grey stripes. Whether you’re growing for the kitchen or simply admiring its beauty, Meruhen promises to deliver both flavour and style. (Approximate seed count - 10)
