Frequently Asked Questions About Pattypan squash
Is süs kabağı, an ornamental gourd, edible?
Usually, ornamental gourds are grown for decoration, not for eating. Some contain cucurbitacins that can make them dangerously bitter; never eat one that tastes bitter, and do not assume cooking will make it safe.
How do you dry an ornamental gourd?
Dry ornamental gourds in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, spaced apart so air can circulate. Turn them occasionally and remove any that become soft or moldy. Drying time varies with the gourd and the conditions.
How long do ornamental gourds last?
A thoroughly dried ornamental gourd can last for months or longer when kept in a cool, dry place. Dampness, direct sunlight, and knocks can cause mold, fading, or cracks, so check stored gourds from time to time.
How do you keep ornamental gourds from rotting?
Choose unblemished ornamental gourds and dry them with plenty of airflow to reduce rotting. Do not pile them up or leave them in a damp area; separate any gourd that softens or develops an unpleasant smell.
Can you paint an ornamental gourd?
Yes, you can paint an ornamental gourd once its surface is clean and completely dry. Acrylic paint works for decoration; use paints and sealers in a well-ventilated space. Do not use a painted gourd to prepare or store food.
When should you harvest ornamental gourds?
Harvest ornamental gourds when their skins have hardened and their stems begin to dry. Cut them from the vine rather than pulling them off, leaving some stem attached to help reduce the chance of rot during drying.
How do you grow ornamental gourds?
Grow ornamental gourds in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil after the risk of frost has passed. Give climbing varieties support and keep the soil evenly moist, without letting it become waterlogged.
Why are my ornamental gourds getting moldy?
Ornamental gourds commonly mold when airflow is poor, the drying area is too damp, or the skin is damaged. Space them out and improve ventilation; discard a gourd if mold appears to have reached inside.
How do you clean an ornamental gourd?
Wipe dirt from an ornamental gourd with a damp cloth, then let it dry in a well-ventilated place. Avoid scraping the shell forcefully, since it can crack, and do not store the gourd while wet.
Are ornamental gourds the same as bottle gourds?
No, ornamental gourds and bottle gourds are not necessarily the same kind of gourd. Ornamental gourds are generally grown for display, while dried bottle gourds have traditionally been used to make containers and household items.

What is Pattypan squash?
Süs kabağı (ornamental gourd) refers to gourds prized for their unusual shapes and colours, usually dried and displayed rather than cooked. It is not the same as pattypan squash, and an ornamental specimen should not be assumed to be edible; some varieties are grown specifically for cooking while young.
Tender, edible forms have a mild flavour and soft texture when cooked, and can be stuffed or added to a simple vegetable dish. Young culinary gourds are light in calories and provide some fibre and vitamin C, but that description does not apply to dried decorative ones. If you want to cook one, check that it was sold as an edible variety rather than for decoration.
