Graine de courge

Ground seed thickens, the fruit sours. No flour and no cream anywhere in it.

Green on green. The leaf is volatile, the seed is fat — one holds the other down.

Seed and flesh from the same fruit — one sweet, one green, both roasted.

Two Mesoamerican seeds, both toasted, both slightly green and oily.

Grassy chilli against grassy seed; both are green heat rather than red.

Mole thickened with seed and darkened with cocoa; two bitternesses, one sauce.

Pepita crust toasts faster than the flesh cooks, so it stays green not brown.

Shared green-fatty aldehydes; the berry drags the seed grass into fruit.
