Muscat pumpkin

Muscat pumpkins carry a lot of weight

Muscat Squash - Product picture

Muscat pumpkins are still a long way from the weight of the world's largest pumpkin ever (700 kilos). Nevertheless, this variety can also produce unusually large fruits. Specimens of up to 100 kilos are common, although the counter starts at 'only' 3 kilos. Muscat pumpkins get their name from the flavour that tends towards nutmeg, with a pleasant sweetness.

Its shape has all the characteristics of a typical pumpkin: oval in shape, wide and ribbed. Underneath its skin is beige-orange to cinnamon-orange flesh. The skin often has spots or stripes. The flesh is dark yellow.

Recipes & preparation tips

Preparing muscat pumpkins is easy: cut the fruit in half vertically. This allows consumers to remove the fibres and seeds. A vegetable peeler is ideal for removing the skin before using the flesh – chopped into pieces – for further preparation. Apart from traditional pumpkin soup, muscat pumpkin is also delicious grated on pancakes!
