Golden Nugget Squash grows on a bush-type squash plant. Each plant will produce 5 to 8 squash about the size of a grapefruit.

The squash has a hard, dull orange rind . Inside the flesh is finely-textured, dry and bright-orange.

The flesh has a somewhat sweet, taste, though not as rich a taste as other squash have.

If the rind is shiny, it shows that the squash was picked too soon and so the taste will be even less developed.

75 to 95 days from seed.

Cooking Tips for Golden Nugget Squash

The rind is very hard. As the entire squash is so small, it is best to cook it first, then cut it later.
