Black Futsu

A beloved traditional Japanese favourite, this unique squash variety features bumpy skin that undergoes an enchanting transformation from a gray-to-blush, cloudy "bloom" on the surface. The squat pumpkin-shaped fruit, with its deep ribs, begins as a dark green specimen and matures into a captivating deep tawny orange with a distinctive grey blush.

The firm, bright orange flesh of this squash offers a one-of-a-kind fruity flavor. With an average weight of 2-4 lbs, the thin skin adds a delightful texture, perfect for creating squash oven fries. Notably, fruits harvested slightly under ripe with some exterior green colour will continue to ripen in storage, ensuring a continuous supply of this exceptional treat. Just watch out the long vines!
