Edible parts
Fruits
Recipe idea for your 'Primavera' F1 squash harvest. Turn the squash flesh into soup. Cut the fruit using a suitable knife on a stable board, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh. Sauté an onion in a pot with a little oil, then add the pieces of squash. Pour in enough broth to just cover the vegetables and let simmer until the flesh is tender. Blend while adding the liquid gradually to adjust the thickness. A small diced apple can accompany mild-fleshed squash. When serving, add a spoonful of plain yogurt, pepper, and some fresh herbs according to your taste. The size of the pieces influences cooking time more than their exact shape. Check several pieces before taking the pot off the heat, especially if the harvest includes fruits of different sizes. Moist flesh sometimes requires more evaporation; denser flesh may require more liquid.
