Description

This striking marrow is not only very decorative, but is also very tasty. The taste of the orange/yellow  flesh is deliciously sweet and slightly chesnutty. The plant bears around 10 small fruits (approx. 8–12 cm). Its creamwhite colour contrasts well with the dark-green stripes which run along the grooves. Sweet Dumpling is at its best up to 4 months after harvest. In the beginning, it is even edible like “mange tout”, with skin and all. It is ideally suited for stuffing.
