This remarkable variety features ivory skin that gradually matures to pale yellow at harvest, with interior flesh that transforms into long, tender noodle-like strands with a fork after cooking. The flesh delivers a mildly sweet, nutty flavor profile that pairs beautifully with everything from classic marinara and meat sauces to light olive oil and herb preparations. At 3–5 lbs per fruit with a relatively small seed cavity, Spaghetti Squash maximizes usable flesh per harvest. Vigorous vining plants produce prolifically throughout the season. Exceptional storage life — keeps 3–6 months in cool, dry conditions for year-round pantry access. Matures in approximately 75–85 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(11, 86, 11);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Rate: 85%. Test Date: 4\/26.
