Pumpkin Musquee De Provence

Description

Musquee de Provence squash is medium to large in size, averaging 15-20 pounds, and is round with a flattened shape. The smooth rind is deeply ribbed and lobed when fully mature and ripens from a mottled green to a rich, burnt orange or terra cotta. The thick, fine-textured, firm flesh is a vibrant orange and contains a small central cavity that contains minimal fibers and is filled with flat, cream-colored, tear-drop shaped seeds. When cooked, Musquee de Provence squash is tender, has a mild, spicy scent, and a sweet flavor.
