Cucurbita pepo 100 days. We’ve definitely got a soft spot for Delicatas, and Honeyboat is a shoe-in for a new-found favorite. This deliciously sweet version sports an unusual, tanned skin with the signature green Delicata striping. The 1 ½ pound fruit are arguably sweeter than our traditional varieties. They store very well, and definitely retain their sweet flavor better on the shelf.
