  1. I love the festive colors of carnival squash. I don’t know about eating it raw though! I love my roasted the best.

  2. I have seen raw food recipes that feature grated squash.

  3. 6 month, eh? that’s great and works well in my kitchen as much i let food just it on my counter.. glad to hear ur doing well. i got ur message on FB.. let’s catch up this week! :)

  4. Beautiful pictures! How amazing that these seem so similar to normal pumpkins but can last for six months. I’m still trying to get my head round which varieties of squash/pumpkin roast well and which are more on the watery side

  5. I love the colours on these – so cheerful!
