The distinctive shape and colouration of this variety may seem more ornamental than edible, but Turks Turban is a delicious winter squash for baking, steaming or turning into soup. The trailing plants produce fruits up to 30cm/12in across, the flesh of which is sweet and golden orange. This variety is also a fine 'keeper'.
