As described by Baker Creek: " Grown for its beautiful, delicious seeds that are very large and white, with silver edges, hence the name. The fruit are round-to-pear-shaped, and are white with green stripes, attractive for decorations and great for seeds. A unique squash that is still popular in some parts of Mexico."
