🔪 Preparing Organic British Crown Prince Squash

Crown Prince Squash has firm flesh, so use a stable chopping board and a good sharp knife when preparing it.

1. Wash the outside thoroughly.
2. Place securely on a chopping board.
3. Carefully cut the squash in half.
4. Scoop out the seeds and fibrous centre with a spoon.
5. Cut into wedges or manageable sections.
6. Peel if your recipe requires it.
7. Alternatively, leave the skin attached when roasting.
8. Cut the flesh into cubes for soups, curries and risottos.

🎃 Fruit Bowl Tip

Don’t automatically peel Crown Prince before roasting.

The skin can soften considerably during cooking, and leaving it attached also makes preparation easier.

If you prefer not to eat it, the cooked flesh can simply be scooped away from the skin afterwards.
