- Cultivated by NZ Maori
- Distinctive ribbed fruit

A versatile and productive squash cultivated as a staple by New Zealand Maori. The round, ribbed fruit grows on a vigorous vine and can be harvested when small and green when it has a similar taste and texture to zucchini. It can also be left to mature and harvested when the skin has turned orange-green and hardens. At this stage the flesh has a mild taste similar to butternut pumpkin and can be roasted, stuffed, mashed or fried.
Also known as 'Kamo Kamo' and 'Kumi Kumi'.
