Gem squash ("Cucurbita pepo" var.
"pepo") is a variety, or family, of summer squash.
It may have come from two wild types; "Cucurbita texana" seen in the southern and central United States and "Cucurbita fraterna" found in Mexico.
The dark green round fruit, when fully ripe, is around the size of a tennis ball.
The young fruit is often harvested before it is fully ripe when it has a softer flavor.

Gem squash is grown a lot in South Africa, and is usually served as a vegetable, often boiled or baked.
