Lady Godiva - Pepo squash
This ancient variety produces large fruits containing 50 to 100 g of delicious seeds, devoid of seed coats and extremely rich in nutrients. Raw or roasted, they are the perfect addition to any recipe.
The orange-yellow fruits, streaked with green, are highly decorative. Although edible, they are of no culinary interest.

"Semences de Kokopelli" by Dominique Guillet
This old variety was introduced in 1972 by Alan K. Stoner of the USDA Agricultural Research Service. It is the result of a cross between two naked-seed squash varieties: "PI 267663", developed by L. C. Curtis of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in the 1940s, and "Beltsville Accession 102", marketed by Agway in 1965. Also known as "Naked Seedeed" and "Hulless".
