🍝 Spaghetti Squash – a unique winter squash that transforms into vegetable “spaghetti”

Spaghetti squash is a special type of winter squash whose flesh turns into tender, spaghetti-like strands after baking. It is a popular low-carb and gluten-free alternative to pasta, offering a mild, slightly nutty flavour that pairs well with a variety of sauces, vegetables and proteins.

The fruits are typically oval-shaped with skin ranging from pale yellow to light orange when mature. Once cooked, the interior separates into long strands, making it perfect for use in dishes such as vegetable “spaghetti”, casseroles, bakes, stir-fries or as a healthy side dish.

Plants require warm weather, full sun and plenty of space for long vines. Each plant can produce multiple fruits under good growing conditions.
