(Like a map spread over the fruit). This variety has a medium shelf life (3-4 months). A special feature is its edible, soft seeds (so-called 'naked' seeds, which give the variety its name (Lady) Godiva), which can be eaten roasted or baked into bread, for example. Very healthy! In Austria, this variety is used to press a delicious oil (Ölkürbis). Finally, the flesh is excellent for soup, talk about versatility…
