Pumpkin Pepitas F1

2016 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

The newest All-America Selections award-winning pumpkin, Pepitas, is a winner in both the decorative and culinary arenas. Pepitas is named for its hulless or naked seeds (pepitas) that lack the tough outer hull making them easy to eat after slow-roasting. Pepitas are a delicious and nutritious treat, with many health benefits!

Each high yield plant produces numerous, uniform medium-sized (9 – 12 pounds) pumpkins on healthy, disease-resistant vines. This confectionery type of pumpkin produces beautiful orange fruits that at maturity have decorative green stripes. What an interesting change of pace for your fall decorations.

    The perfect pumpkin! I grew them this summer, not only are they the perfect size but also the perfect Fall pumpkin. I used them as jack-o-lanterns, popped their seeds in my mouth, and baked them up for pumpkin pie.
