Triamble Squash
(Curcurbita maxima)
Triamble squash is one of several blue-colored C. maxima winter
squashes that are common in Australia but they are rare or unknown
outside of
that country. The species are known to have originated in Uruguay but
where/when/how this particular variety was developed is unknown.
Triamble is stunningly beautiful and has a feel that matches it. Its shell is hard and with a marble-like smoothness. The squash is dense and heavy. In the hand it gives a near-correct impression that it is entirely solid. The flesh is orange-colored and quite sweet. Triamble keeps very well and Amy Goldman reports that she can store Triambles for two years without loss of flavor or looks.
The Trimable plant has huge leaves and enjoys meandering for six or seven feet before throwing a fruit or two. In my garden they were stricken with a mild case of blight but were nonetheless productive.
The cooked flesh of a Triamble is dry, deeply flavorful and mildly sweet. It is an excellent choice both in the garden and in the kitchen.
This Triamble squash was organically grown in my garden in the Valley of the Moon.
