Patty Pans in Mix - Pepo squash
This blend of old varieties produces fruit that is sometimes warty, in the shape of swollen discs, crowned with yellow, white, orange and green. Their white flesh is fine, firm and slightly floury. When young, they can be eaten raw, with an artichoke-heart flavor. Harvested when ripe, they can be stuffed.
