About Courge

Courge is the French term for squash or gourd, a broad category of edible fruits from several related plants. The label does not identify a particular variety or species, and therefore does not specify whether it is a summer or winter squash or another type within the category.

Squash is used in many food forms, including cooked dishes and preparations made from the flesh; this record does not establish a particular form or use. Shape, skin, flesh colour, texture, and flavour vary widely across the category and with maturity and preparation.
