Someone was wanting to know about the good eating pumpkins. All of the pumpkins pictured are edible. I’m gonna try to post some pictures up at the stand somewhere to help people out.
The last orange pumpkins pictured, Tiger Stripes, don’t have the best “meat” ever, but have hull-less seeds in them. The green ones you see in salads or desserts. “Pepitas” They’re so good. And good for you!
My beloved Hispanic customers LOVE the brown flat ones. There’s a pallet of those that say “sale”. They have weird spot things on them that only affect their looks. Not their quality inside. They say they’ll keep for years in a cool dark environment. They’ll all keep for a long time if stored properly.
I didn’t have a picture of the white flat stackers. They’re edible too. An African lady was SO happy to come across them a few years ago. She said they’re considered a delicacy in her home country.
A family we know that cooks everything all the time, LOVES the smaller blueish gray ones that are on a pallet with a few smaller red ones. The whole family claims they made the best pumpkin pies they’d ever had. They go on and on about them. I don’t make pies, but trust their word completely.
