Loved for their sweet flavor and creamy texture, Butternut squashes are a must-have in vegetable gardens. The most well-known variety is the Butternut squash 'Waltham', prized for its sweet flesh and high yield. The Butternut squash 'Hercule' is also an excellent choice. With a small seed cavity, the amount of flesh is substantial. Our range of Butternut squash seeds comes in both conventional and organic options.
Butternut squashes require well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Plant them in full sun and water regularly, especially during the growth period. Mulch the soil to retain moisture and suppress weeds. The harvest typically takes place in autumn when the fruit's skin has hardened. The fruits can be stored throughout winter in a cool, dry place.
In the kitchen, Butternut squashes lend themselves to many preparations. Their mild, slightly sweet flesh is perfect for creamy soups and velvety purées. They can be roasted in the oven with herbs and spices or used in mashes, gratins, and curries.
