Hull-less Seeded Squash – Kakai (Organic)

Large round squash with mottled green stripes on orange-yellow and hull-less seeds for eating.

Certainly a striking variety renowned for its hull-less seeds, perfect for roasting and snacking. Native to Austria, each plant typically produces 2-3 squashes weighing 2-3 kilos, ideal for both seed harvesting and decorative purposes.

The seeds are rich in oils and packed with nutrients. Being shell-free seeds this makes them easy to prepare. They can be roasted for a savoury snack or eaten fresh, straight from the opened fruits. In the European cuisine this variety is commercially used to press and extract the nutrient-dense green pumpkin seed oil.

While primarily grown for its seeds, the flesh of the Kakai squash can be used, it has a mild flavour that complements soups, breads, muffins, or veggie dishes.

It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, with semi-bush vines requiring enough space to spread.
