Honeyboat has the same taste & texture as a Sweet Potato, but its easier to grow & so a good substitute for sweet potatoes. Rob says
- I first found this squash in the United states, California to be exact, & as far as I know, no-one else in the UK is selling this great old variety. This squash is easier to grow, & sweeter than a butternut squash. Its more productive too. First introduced in 1894, Honeyboat can be left to crawl over the floor or trained up a frame, or wires. The fruits are super sweet with firm, deep orange flesh, the ideal size to serve 2 people. So, no half-eaten squash lurking in the fridge! Its also got its own built-in best before date, as the green stripes will disappear as the squash ages, so youll always know which to eat first. This variety will keep you in roast squash, soup & any number of dishes all winter long, its a real keeper!
