This variety has been around for longer than most of the other unusualsquash varieties. It made a big hit when it was first introduced in the1970s, but sales are now well below that peak and slipping. This is a semi-hardshelled squash. It has a bright yellow colored skin and a very stringy whiteflesh. After you boil this variety, the flesh can easily be removed witha fork. These strands of squash can be used instead of pasta, or as a "julienne"style of vegetable.
