Uchiki Kuri is an orange to red coloured pear shaped fruit that closely resemble a mini pumpkin without the ridges. Stores for up to 6 months but still tender enough to eat the roasted skin. A good one for those weaning themselves off that supermarket staple the butternut squash which has a thick skin for storage and transport but cannot compare to most other squashes for taste. 

Seasonality

September - November
