Kalabasa is the kind of vegetable that gives back more than its share. The sweet orange flesh thickens a ginataan or rounds out a pinakbet, the young tops (talbos) go into soups, and even the flowers find their way into the pan. Hardy, affordable, and long-keeping, squash is a Filipino kitchen staple — and on FarmyHub you can buy it fresh straight from local growers.
With squash, sellers often list more than the whole vegetable:
Whole kalabasa — the familiar green-skinned, orange-fleshed squash for ginataan, pinakbet, soups, and purees
Squash tops (talbos ng kalabasa) — the tender young shoots and leaves, cooked as greens
Squash flowers (bulaklak ng kalabasa) — used in soups and sautés
Butternut and hybrid varieties — for those who want a specific type or size
Listings note the variety, size, and which part is on offer, so you can grab exactly what your recipe calls for.
Squash suits just about every kitchen. Households cook it for everyday meals, carinderia and restaurants use it across soups and ulam, and food processors buy it in volume for purees and even baby food, since it's mild and nutritious. Palengke vendors keep it stocked because it sells steadily and stores well, and caterers source it for big-batch cooking.
FarmyHub is the marketplace, not the farm — we don't grow, pack, or guarantee the squash. Each seller handles their own harvest and pricing, so message the grower directly to confirm variety, size, freshness, and delivery. Squash grows easily across lowland farms nationwide, so you'll usually find sellers in or near your region year-round.
