Hokkaido pumpkin

Compensates for size with extra flavour

Hokkaido pumpkin - Product picture

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.
