Blue Banana

This incredible squash makes attractive, long fruit like a pale blue zeppelin! An heirloom from Guatemala that grows rapidly, producing lots of grey-blue fruit . A waxy skin that keeps it fresh for ages, but is very thin and easily peeled. This is the best of the three ‘banana squash’ varieties still in existence. Really easy to cook – just slice across it and you get handy rings of squash – easy to deseed and quick to trim off the skin. Very nice in a risotto, see the picture.
