Bright, Nutritious and Naturally Sweet
Enjoy the vibrant flavour and golden hue of Organic Gold Squash, grown in Australia under ACO (Australian Certified Organic) standards. These squash are harvested at winter maturity to deliver a naturally sweet, smooth, and slightly nutty taste. With sturdy skin and dense golden flesh, they bring both visual appeal and versatile cooking potential to your kitchen.
Certified Organic and Australian Grown
Grown locally by Australian farmers, this produce carries the ACO certification—meaning it is free from synthetic pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, and chemical fertilisers. It's packed shortly after harvest to retain its nutritional value and rich flavour, supporting sustainable and ethical farming methods.
Health Benefits & Product Characteristics
Gold squash is naturally low in calories and fat while supplying fibre, vitamin A (as beta-carotene), vitamin C, potassium and magnesium. These nutrients support immune health, skin vitality, eye health, blood pressure regulation, and digestive wellness. With about 25 kcal and 5 g of carbohydrate per 100 g, it makes a light yet nourishing ingredient.
Storage Instructions
Store unwashed squash in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated place—such as a pantry—away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate. Use within two weeks for best texture and flavour. Separate from ethylene-producing produce like apples and pears to prevent premature spoilage.
Cooking Ideas and Serving Suggestions
Cut and roast slices with olive oil, garlic and thyme for a sweet, caramelised side dish. Alternatively, cube and steam, then mash with butter and nutmeg. The squash also works beautifully in soups—blend with coconut milk and ginger for creamy depth—or in risottos and pasta sauces. For a refreshing twist, cool roasted cubes and toss into grain or mixed salads.
