Description

'Squash- Kamokamo' seeds

Cucurbita pepo

  • Cultivated by NZ Maori
  • Distinctive ribbed fruit
  • Use fruit young like zucchini or mature like pumpkin

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'.
