Black Futsu Squash
Black Futsu is a prized Japanese heirloom winter squash with uniquely wrinkled, deeply ribbed skin that matures from near-black to a greyish-blue, and sweet, dense, bright orange flesh that's extraordinary roasted, pureed into soup, or stuffed and baked whole. The thin, edible skin means less waste and easier preparation than most hard squash, and the impressive storage life of 4–5 months makes it a valuable long-season pantry crop. A genuinely beautiful and delicious vegetable with a devoted following among squash enthusiasts.
