The Cucurbita moschata Mini Musk is a unique butternut squash variety distinguished by its small, compact fruits and aromatic, sweet flesh. This variety is ideal for gardeners who want to experiment with compact squash or for consumers seeking an easy-to-store and versatile variety. Mini Musk combines classic butternut squash characteristics with high productivity and ease of cultivation.
Mini Musk produces small to medium-sized fruits, usually weighing between 1 and 2 kilograms, with the characteristic butternut squash shape: a short neck and a rounded body. The skin is smooth and light beige to cream-colored, making the fruits decorative and practical for display, processing, and storage.
The flesh is deep orange, creamy, aromatic, and sweet, with a delicate nutty flavor. The compact seed cavity makes a large portion of the fruit edible, ideal for both domestic and culinary use.
Mini Musk belongs to the Cucurbita moschata family, meaning the plants are heat-hardy, robust, and often disease-resistant. The vines are shorter than those of traditional butternut squash, making the variety suitable for smaller gardens, raised beds, or pots.

The sweet and aromatic flesh of Mini Musk is exceptionally versatile in the kitchen. Their compact size makes them perfect for individual portions or for dishes requiring smaller pumpkin pieces.

Creamy pumpkin soups
