Dutch crookneck squash is medium to large in size, averaging 10-20 pounds in weight, and is cylindrical with one bulbous end and a long, curved neck. The tan skin is relatively thin, smooth, and is connected to a rough, green stem. The flesh is deep orange to gold, moist, firm, fine-grained, and there is a small seed cavity in the bulbous end encasing flat, cream-colored seeds. When cooked, Dutch crookneck squash is tender with a mild, sweet, and nutty flavor.
