Description

Cucurbita moschata – Helviz F1: Productive and culinary butternut squash hybrid

Helviz F1 is a modern Cucurbita moschata F1 hybrid, developed for both amateur gardeners and professional growers seeking a high-yielding, reliable, and flavorful pumpkin variety. This variety combines the classic characteristics of butternut squash with the advantages of F1 breeding: uniform fruits, reliable harvest, fast ripening, and robust plant health. Helviz F1 is known for its large, high-quality fruits, making it ideal for both kitchen and commercial use.

Appearance and characteristics of the fruits

Helviz F1 produces large, uniform fruits, usually weighing between 3 and 5 kilograms, with the classic butternut squash shape: an elongated neck and a rounded body. The skin is smooth, firm, and light beige to cream-colored, making the fruits attractive for markets and kitchens.

The flesh is deep orange, creamy, aromatic, and sweet, with a subtle nutty undertone. The compact seed cavity provides a high edible weight, making Helviz F1 efficient and versatile in the kitchen.

Cultivation characteristics and growth

Helviz F1 is a vigorous F1 hybrid with reliable fruit set and high yields. The plants develop medium to long vines and healthy foliage, which protects the fruit from sunburn and dehydration. This variety performs well in warm climates and is resistant to common butternut squash diseases, including powdery mildew.

Important cultivation characteristics:

  • High-yielding F1 hybrid with uniform fruits

  • Reliable and fast fruit setting

  • Strong leaf growth protects the fruits

  • Good resistance to common diseases

  • Excellent for open field and commercial cultivation

For optimal results, Helviz F1 grows best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Sow indoors from April or outdoors from late May, once the soil temperature is consistently above 15°C. Regular watering and mulching promote yield and fruit quality.

Culinary applications

The aromatic and sweet flesh of Helviz F1 is versatile in the kitchen. It's firm enough for roasting, yet becomes soft and buttery when boiled or pureed, making it suitable for a wide variety of dishes.

Recommended applications:

  • Roasted pumpkin cubes or slices

  • Creamy pumpkin soups

  • Stews and curries

  • Puree for pasta, gnocchi or baby food

  • Baking recipes such as muffins, bread or pumpkin pie

  • Stuffed pumpkin from the oven

The compact seed cavity allows for efficient use of the pulp, ideal for both domestic and commercial cooking.

Storage and preservation quality

Helviz F1 has excellent storage qualities. After a short curing period, the fruits can be stored for up to four months in a cool, dry place. The flavor deepens during storage and the flesh becomes even sweeter and creamier, making the pumpkin perfect for winter dishes.
