What is Fuzzy Squash?
Also known as Moqua or Hairy Gourd, Fuzzy Squash is a versatile Asian vegetable with a light, refreshing taste and gentle sweetness—similar to zucchini but slightly denser. We grow it on our Florida farm using sustainable practices for reliable quality and fresh flavor in every box.
