Description

Red Kuri Kabocha is a deep-orange Japanese winter squash known for its smooth texture and naturally sweet, nutty flavor. Its teardrop shape and rich chestnut like taste make it a favorite in both traditional and modern kitchens.

In Japan, kabocha is the star of cozy dishes like kabocha tempura, nimono (simmered squash in soy and sake), and creamy kabocha miso soup. It’s also wonderful roasted, mashed, or added to curries and risottos. The skin becomes tender when cooked—no peeling needed—making this an easy and flavorful addition to your fall meals.

Grown using organic methods in the Eel River Valley, our Red Kuri Kabocha captures the essence of autumn: hearty, colorful, and full of warmth.
