2 lbs of Red Kuri (two small or one large). Red Kuri Winter Squash also known as Hokkaido is a sweet moist and dense Japanese Squash. In fact the sweet nutty flavor is what gives it is name as “Kuri” is the Japanese word for chestnut. The skin is so tender it does not need to be pealed but that is a personal preference. The sweet flesh is really enhance by roasting and we recommend such. The seeds can also be roasted as a snack or topping.
