Moore Gold Winter Squash Seeds

SKU: P545411

Moore Gold is a beloved winter squash variety known for its exceptional sweetness, smooth texture, and long storage life. This heirloom variety was developed by Dr. Moore of the University of Wisconsin to improve upon the already popular buttercup squash. He succeeded in creating a squash that not only stores exceptionally well, but also boasts larger fruits and a more vigorous plant.  

 

The vibrant orange flesh of Moore Gold is thick, dry, and incredibly flavorful, making it perfect for baking into pies, roasting, or pureeing into soups. Its hard shell allows it to keep for months in proper storage conditions, providing a taste of sunshine even in the depths of winter. This variety is a favorite among home gardeners and market growers alike due to its high yields and consistently delicious results.
