Black Futsu Squash

Black Futsu Squash
 
This is a very rare black Japanese heirloom squash. The fruit is flattened and round.  The flesh is a golden color and has a rich taste of hazelnut.  A very unique gem to find.  When first harvested they are almost black in color. As the black futsu mature it will turn a rich chestnut color in storage.  Popular with European market growers.
