Probably the most 'purple' of all the purple varieties. Purple Calabash dates back to the Aztecs of pre-Columbian Mexico, who mixed it with hot chiles and ground squash seeds to make a special salsa for fish and meat. Its flavor is rich and concentrated like a simmered sauce.

Crack-resistant and stores well.
