what pumpkins can you eat

You can eat many types of pumpkins beyond the typical large carving pumpkins, which tend to be stringy and bland. The best eating pumpkins are often labeled as sugar pumpkins, pie pumpkins, or sweet pumpkins. These are smaller, denser, and have sweeter, smoother flesh. Some excellent varieties include 'Long Island Cheese', 'Cinderella' (Rouge Vif d'Etampes), and 'Jarrahdale'. Kabocha and Red Kuri squashes, though technically winter squashes, are also delicious and often used in pumpkin recipes for their sweet, nutty flavor and creamy texture. When choosing a pumpkin for eating, look for one that feels heavy for its size and has no soft spots.
