As summer fades and the crisp air of September rolls in, chefs and culinary enthusiasts are presented with many opportunities to showcase the season's finest fresh produce. September marks the beginning of the harvest season, where vibrant colours and robust flavours dominate the market, making it an ideal time to experiment with fresh ingredients in your kitchen. One of the highlights to grace September is squashes. Read below to find out the different varieties we have available.
Harlequin Squash
The Harlequin Squash is a compact winter variety, known for its distinctive green and cream mottled skin. Its smooth, tender texture and sweet, nutty flavour make it ideal for roasting, baking, and stuffing. Not only tasty, it also serves as an attractive element for autumn displays, perfect for seasonal menus.
Crown Prince Squash
Crown Prince Squash is a large, winter variety with a silver to blue-grey skin and vibrant orange flesh. Its dense texture and sweet potato-like flavour hold up well in cooking, developing a tender, honey-sweet, nutty taste.
