Kakai Squash

Kakai’s completely hull-less seeds are superb for roasting! Slightly oblate, delicately ribbed fruit is an unusual shade of yellow-orange, mottled here and there in dark green to virtually black. Simply scoop the seeds out of the 5- to 8-pound pumpkins, rinse, salt if desired, and roast in the oven until slightly browned. Semi-bush plants are compact and great for smaller gardens.
