Description/Taste
Kabocha, pronounced kah-BOH-chah, is a winter squash encased in a dull, deep green, hard, mottled skin that is often lined with pale, uneven stripes. There are also some orange skinned cultivars though the green is the most commonly produced. The skin is technically edible if cooked though most commonly it is discarded. Round and squat with a flattened top, it ranges from one to eight pounds but weighs an average of two to three pounds. Within the squash is a deep yellow-orange flesh which surrounds a small seed cavity. Cooked Kabocha squash offers a finely grained, dry flesh with a buttery and tender texture. Rather sweet, its rich flavor combines that of a sweet potato and a pumpkin.
