The present invention provides a novel squash plant having an especially small seed cavity, and a method for producing the squash plant. The present invention provides a method for producing a small seed cavity squash plant that includes developing, from the progeny of an F1 seed obtained by crossing a Cucurbita maxima and a Cucurbita moschata, a small seed cavity squash plant in which the proportion of the volume of the seed cavity relative to the fruit volume is 15% or less, and also provides a small seed cavity squash plant that is a small seed cavity Cucurbita maxima plant having, within the nuclear genome, a gene associated with a small seed cavity trait of a plant of the genus Cucurbita, or a hybrid plant obtained using the small seed cavity Cucurbita maxima plant as a parent, or a progeny of either of these plants.

This utility model relates to a process of producing bread enriched with squash (Cucurbita maxima) to improve its creaminess, texture, and nutritional value.. The process involves washing, peeling, and boiling the squash, then blending it with butter and evaporated milk to enhance flavor and moisture. The mixture is combined with flour, sugar, egg, salt, leavening agents, and crushed squash seeds to form a dough, which is fermented, shaped, and baked at approximately 190°C. The resulting bread is soft, fluffy, and light brownish-yellow in color, providing a rich taste and appealing appearance. This process 10 offers a simple, low-cost, and home-based production method that can enhance livelihood opportunities while promoting the consumption of locally grown squash. It further provides nutritional, social, and economic benefits, making it possible for small-scale community enterprises and household-level food innovation initiatives.
