Bradshaw Heirloom Collection When young, fruit can be eaten as other squash. Source: Edith & Bill Gambrel, Clayton, GA. Although the common name of this vegetable is “squash”, it is an edible Cuccuzi gourd. It originally came from Italy and has been maintained in the family almost 200 years. Like most other gourds, they are rampant growers and enjoy a stout trellis for best growth and fruit development. However, they will run freely over the ground. Pick when 6-10 inches long and use like summer squash. When young, half the fruit can be cut off for eating as other squash. Remaining fruit will heal itself and continue to grow, hence the name “healing squash”. Fruit may reach 3-4 feet long and look like a club.
