This is a real specialty acorn squash. It is delicious, sweet, and the texture is very creamy. They keep very well, and will tolerate the heat in warmer southern gardens. But do not forget the moisture. I stuff them with a mixture of dried and fresh fruit to suit the main dish I am preparing (recipe included on seed packet). They can also be baked, removed from the skin and frozen if need be. They have pale cream white colored skin with green, and orange, markings and often ranges in size from 5 to 7 inches in diameter - only the flesh is eaten unlike summer squash. Keeps well but not a long keeper.
