Culinary applications – versatile and healthy

Organic Vegetable Spaghetti is famous for its spaghetti-like flesh, which falls apart into long, thin strands after cooking. This makes the pumpkin ideal for:

• Spaghetti squash dishes as a low-carb pasta substitute

• Roasted in the oven, as a side dish or main course

• Pumpkin dishes, stews and soups, where the texture remains intact

• Healthy and creative culinary applications, such as stuffed pumpkins or salads

The neutral and light flavour profile suits a wide range of diets and recipes, from traditional to modern.

Moderately climbing plants – easy to grow

Vegetable Spaghetti BIO has moderately vining plants, making it suitable for compact gardens, raised beds, and hobby gardens. The moderate vines provide:

• better air circulation around the leaves

• healthy and strong plants

• optimal fruit development and consistent harvest

This makes the variety ideal for both novice and experienced organic gardeners.

Maturation period of 100 days – reliable harvest

With a ripening period of approximately 100 days, Vegetable Spaghetti BIO is a mid-season variety of Cucurbita pepo. The fruits develop evenly and retain their firmness, color, and flavor, making them perfect for harvesting in late summer and autumn.

Cultivation advice for optimal yield

Organic Vegetable Spaghetti grows best in warm, well-drained soil and thrives with organic fertilizer. For successful cultivation, the seeds can be planted in two ways:

• Sow from the end of April, plant out after the last frost

• Sow directly from early May, as soon as the soil temperature is sufficient

For optimal germination, a temperature of 24–30°C is ideal. The seeds should be placed pointed-side down or flat and kept slightly moist, but not wet. After germination, the young plants should be placed in a brighter, cooler location to promote healthy growth.

Planting distance and space requirements

Due to its moderately vining growth pattern, planting distance depends on the available space. Generally, Vegetable Spaghetti BIO can be grown efficiently in limited spaces, while guaranteeing a good yield and uniform fruits.
