But only if you disregard all of the peanuts now covering the surface. The peanuts/warts are caused by the build-up of sugars in the skin of ‘Galeux d’Eysines.’ Each squash is different, and the number of peanuts, as well as the ultimate color of the squash, varies by when you harvest it. You can harvest as soon as it turns pink, or you can let it stay on the vine until it turns a deep salmon color. The flavor also develops the longer it stays on the vine. ‘Galeux d’Eysines’ is a popular French market pumpkin due to its unique appearance, but even more so for its flavor!
