Vegetable Spaghetti Squash seeds Cucurbita pepoPack: 10 seeds, 5g Spaghetti Squash is also called gold string melon, it is unique among winter squashes; when cooked, the flesh fall s away from the shell in strands like spaghetti and retains a tender, yet al dente, texture. The savoury flavour is delicious, and low calorie, with a simple bit of butter and salt. Each plant can yield 5 to 7 squash. The pale yellow, oval fruits grow to 25cm (10") on long, productive vines.
