It’s quite clear where Boulder Squashes’ name came from: their rock-like appearance! The rind of these squash comes in grey, and are splotched with green on the top that makes it appear they have moss growing on them. The squash can vary in their shape, always looking similar to rocks. But it’s not just their appearance that’s boulder-like. The squashes themselves are quite heavy and the rind of the Boulder Squash is very tough. But once you cut into the squash, you’ll find an orange flesh that’s much softer and plenty of edible seeds.
Weeping Pods, Three-Pearled Blooms, and Boulder Squash are frequently grown together, as they benefit each other.
Can I grow them?
Yes! They aren’t very difficult to grow, just be aware that they can grow quite large with the right care.
Can I eat them?
You can eat them. The rind is very tough and hard to cut into, but the flesh inside is much softer. It can be scooped out and eaten raw or cooked. The taste is mild, and comparable to a real world winter squash. The seeds are also edible, though are much better cooked than raw.
