The listing, UFO or Flying Saucer Pattypan Squash -10 Seeds NON GMO & Grown Organically has ended.
You are bidding on 10 seeds of my Organically Grown UFO Squash Seeds.
As its name suggests, Flying Saucer squash has a shape that does resemble a "U.F.O." It is abstract, flattened and scalloped with different tones of variegated green and yellow from blossom end to stem end. Its flesh is crisp yet cottony with a moist seed cavity. Its flavor is sweet, nutty and savory with peppered undertones. Younger summer squash is chosen over mature squash as their seeds are barely developed and the flesh has a higher moisture content while mature squash's skin becomes drier and thicker and its flavor can decline, even become bitter. In addition to the fruit of the plant, the leaves and the flower (blossoms) are also edible.
Prepare like any summer squash: bake, roast, grill, grate, sauté or braise. Coloring will remain if not overcooked. Pair with eggs, fresh herbs, cheeses, garlic, tomatoes, poultry and seafood. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
Seeds will ship via USPS usually within 24 hours of the end of the auction and my receipt of your Listia approved address.
