Golden October has now arrived and a time to dose up on natural vitamins.

 

This tear drop squash is also known as Red Kuri. It is full of sweet flavour and colour, and makes a great ingredient for a fruity soup, a cake, pies or a hearty casserole. Its seeds can also be used in a stuffing to give it an extra tang.  Now that Autumn is upon us-- a time that the sniffles may sneek-up amongst us; we could use a little help with this fruit's vitamins: rich in fiber and a dose of vitamin C.  During our Golden October Hokkaido can be found by the table loads at the market, country road stalls and in food stores.
