or 800 years, but what's 200 years between friends? Wonder why this wasn't a bigger story... Found in 2008

It’s amazing to think that a little clay pot buried in the ground 800 years ago would still be relevant today, but it’s true! It’s actually brought an extinct species of squash that was presumed to be lost forever. Thank our Indigenous Ancestors! Even they knew what preservation meant. They knew the importance of the future, Is it not amazing that they are affecting our walks of life even to this day?

Now, seven years after making this stunning discovery, students in Winnipeg decided to plant the 800-year-old seeds... To everyone's amazement, something grew!

I hate squash. Why couldn't it be some form of ancient super-garlic? Or weed.

Is it vastly different from the common yellow squash that we eat now in taste or nutritional content? If not, what's the big deal?

don't know, have not had any yet - it's probably pretty damned expensive right now...

we can preserve food for 800 years without any kind of "technology" - how do you not see that this is a big deal?

Umm, isn't it well known that seeds will last a long arse time?

We didn't preserve anything. Mother Nature and seeds are just awesome.

It was a more or less statement.
