Oblong?

edit

The opening line description of red kuri as resembling an oblong pumpkin made me say 'huh'? As a longtime fan of red kuri, I can say (yeah, original research, I know) that I've never seen one that vaguely approximated an oblong anything. So, thinking I had perhaps overlooked its true form, I did some searching and every photo that I could find had the same shapes with which I'm familiar - varying from pumpkinish to something resembling a herniated naval orange. Deleted the descriptor. Irish Melkite (talk) 18:57, 10 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

I've linked this page to the French (and subsequently German) versions. The French page also provides an image which should answer Irish Melkite's issue over the description. Please check this. JonSenior (talk) 10:45, 25 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Brought to you by the Kuri Board of _____ much? Exhortation ("Make pies,...") and even anthropomorphism ("...is fond of herbs...") - I had almost forgotten that this still happens in Wik. (then again, just a few years ago most search engines hadn't an inkling of 'kuri squash') — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.78.166.161 (talk) 21:35, 4 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect Nutritional information.

edit

The listed nutritional information seems to be incorrect, particularly the potassium content. I cannot find specific information but the paper "Comparison of Nutritional Composition and Antioxidative Activity for Kabocha Squash and Pumpkin" list for example potassium is around 2,000 mg% which gives about 2% but this is for dry weight of pumpkin, which is indicated elsewhere as being about 94% water.
