Overview
Kuta is a vegetable marrow type squash with three lives. Picked young at about 6 inches with light green skin, it is tender enough to eat raw. Left a bit longer, the denser flesh cooks like eggplant. Allowed to mature fully, the skin darkens to deep green and the fruit can be baked as a winter squash. That flexibility makes it a useful single planting for a small garden.
