Honeynut Butternut is a distinctive mini butternut squash that has cultivated a devoted following among gardeners and culinary enthusiasts who specifically request this variety by name. This organically grown, open-pollinated cultivar represents a significant departure from standard butternut squashes, offering compact fruits with exceptional sweetness and refined flavor that elevates it beyond typical winter squash offerings. The characteristic dark tan skin develops most fully when plants receive adequate growing time and warm conditions through maturity. As a later-maturing variety requiring approximately 110 days to harvest, early planting ensures optimal tan coloration development before frost arrives. Notably, fruits harvested while still green will gradually ripen to proper tan coloration during storage, providing flexibility for growers in regions with shorter seasons or variable weather patterns. Each compact fruit delivers dense, golden-orange flesh with remarkable sweetness and buttery texture that justifies the "honey" designation. The smaller size—ideal for individual or two-person servings—makes Honeynut exceptionally practical for modern households while maintaining the superior flavor characteristics that distinguish premium butternut varieties. The relatively small seed cavity maximizes usable flesh, and the moderately thick skin provides excellent protection during storage and handling. Honeynut demonstrates impressive storage longevity, maintaining quality for approximately three months when kept in cool, dry conditions. This extended shelf life allows extended enjoyment of your harvest throughout fall and winter months. The versatile flesh excels when roasted, baked, steamed, or incorporated into soups, risottos, and other dishes where natural sweetness enhances culinary results. Our organically produced, non-GMO seeds deliver germination rates of 80% or better, ensuring vigorous plant establishment. Each packet contains 25 seeds for generous planting options.
