Organic butternut squash

Responds to the interest among conscious consumers

The well-known butternut squash is also grown organically. The difference with regular butternut squash is that the grower lets nature take its course as much as possible. In other words: cultivation in the open ground, and if the vegetables need a boost, there are means such as natural soil enrichers. Growers are consciously committed to this sustainable form of farming. Certification and intensive controls guarantee that you can offer your customer a 100% organic product, crowned with the green organic logo that is common in Europe.

There is no difference in appearance: the fruiting vegetable is recognizable as a vase, with a long neck and a round base. Its skin is beige or yellow and is easy to remove. The pulp is orange and fleshy, with a nutty flavour. The taste becomes fuller and sweeter as the squash ripens.

Recipes & preparation tips

Peeling and chopping into pieces is all the preparation this produce requires. Butternut squash is the perfect companion in a curry. Pumpkin soup is also very popular. Butternut squash works well combined with sweet potato and puff pastry, as an alternative to traditional lasagna. The fruiting vegetable can be chopped into pieces, peeled or unpeeled. Toasted seeds are a surprising snack.
