Hokkaido pumpkin

Compensates for size with extra flavour

The Hokkaido pumpkin is one of the smaller of the dozens of pumpkin varieties available. This variety more than makes up for its difference in weight – 0.5 to 3 kilos maximum – with its taste.

Hokkaido pumpkins share their mild sweet taste with other pumpkin varieties, with the added bonus of a full, nutty accent. The flesh is firm in texture and not overly fleshy. Its delicate taste that makes the Hokkaido pumpkin more versaatile than just as a soup. The skin is edible.
