Kakai Squash. Trail Food.

The Kakai squash I am told originated in Austria & was grown all through Europe & parts of Asia. This squash or pumpkin has edible hull-less seeds which are very tasty as is, or roasted. Some types apparently have a tastier flesh than others. The one we are growing which you can see in the attached images tastes more like a marrow, but is still very nice. 



Roasted Kakai seeds or pepitas.

The Last Of The Three Sisters To Be Brought In. Pumpkins/Squash.

The beans and the corn are finished and it is time to collect all the pumpkins as the first frosts have arrived. I collected two large wheel barrow loads, and now I have to preserve what I can. There will be a lot of pumpkin soup dinners coming up!
