Abstract
Las semillas de calabaza (Cucurbita pepo L.) con una fina cubierta se llaman semillas desnudas y se han convertido en un ingrediente popular para la elaboración de alimentos. Son ricas en aceite, proteínas y ácidos grasos insaturados. Su consumo reporta beneficios para la salud, incluyendo la reducción del riesgo de ciertos tipos de cáncer. A pesar de su creciente popularidad en EE. UU., este insumo es importado, de ahí la necesidad de identificar/desarrollar cultivares adaptados a las condiciones locales. Este artículo informa sobre el rendimiento y desempeño hortícola de dos cultivares de semillas desnudas de calabaza en el sur de Florida con las condiciones de crecimiento de primavera.
