Butternut Squash Sweet Rich Flesh for Roasting, Soups and Comfort Cooking

A Fresh Item with Real Character

A good butternut squash feels solid in your hands with a matte finish and a warm orange tone inside that promises sweetness. When they arrive fresh the skin is smooth and the flesh cuts cleanly without excess moisture. At Gardners Patch our squash comes in early which helps it hold both flavour and texture. It is a kitchen staple that lends warmth and comfort to meals all year round.

• Naturally sweet flavour that deepens as it cooks
• Firm flesh that roasts to a soft silky texture
• Smooth skin that is easy to peel

Sourcing and Freshness

Butternut squash needs careful storage after harvesting to maintain its sweetness and firmness. Our growers prepare and send them quickly so they reach our Gloucester Road shop in excellent condition. Each squash is checked for weight, skin quality and overall freshness. Bristol shoppers value produce that performs well in the kitchen and our squash consistently meets that standard.

Storage Tips

Keep whole squash in a cool dry place where it stores well for several days. Once cut keep it chilled and wrapped to maintain moisture and firmness.
