About Buttercup

This compact winter squash, often turban-shaped with dusty aquamarine skin, offers bright orange, starchy flesh that cooks to a satiny soft, creamy texture. It provides an exceptional mild sweet flavor with distinct chestnut notes, making it an excellent substitute for sweet potatoes. Growing on rugged plants, it matures early and exhibits natural insect resistance, thriving even in shorter growing seasons. Individual fruits typically weigh 3-3.5 pounds, ideal for family meals.
