Their semi-solid cored stems are more resistant to squash bugs than the hollow-cored stems of \u003cem\u003eC. pepo\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eC. maxima\u003c\/em\u003e. Pennsylvania's finely textured flesh is sweet, and the necks of the squash are seed-free making prep work easier. We like to slice them into French fries which we deep fry or oven roast until very crispy (they will soften as they cool.) We then sprinkle them with Cajun seasoning and serve. Highly recommended for those of you with picky eaters-- they're good enough to turn more than a few squash haters.  Matures approximately 105 days from sowing.  Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pennsylvania Dutch","offers":[{"title":"Packet (25 Seeds)","offer_id":44071939670265,"sku":"SQ-MO-002","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/4450\/products\/pennsylvania-dutch-squash-seeds-30555343487133.jpg?v=1700337668"},{"product_id":"waltham-butternut-squash","title":"Waltham Butternut Squash","description":"\u003cp\u003eWaltham Butternut Squash is a beloved heirloom winter squash prized for its excellent flavor, strong yields, and long storage life.
