Description

Cucurbita pepo

Grow your own pepitas! Naturally hulless seeds make for deeeee-licious eatin’!
This variety is grown for its plentiful, large, naked pepita seeds without the normal woody seed coat. Vines produce an average of 6-10 attractive, green and orange-striped fruits weighing 8-10 pounds each. Once seeds are cleaned and dried, they are good eaten fresh, roasted, or toasted. This pumpkin’s flesh is not prized for its culinary value.

Squashes and pumpkins are a part of the vast agricultural and culinary legacy of this continent, with indigenous seedkeepers in modern-day Mexico and Central America cultivating some types at least 10,000 years ago. Along with their sisters corn and beans, they spread throughout the western hemisphere through the loving care of Native Americans and by the time European colonizers arrived on the continent, many varieties of squash were being grown by farmers from the southwest to the northeast. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the original stewards of the nutrient-packed, long-keeping, healthy-seed-spawning miracle that is a squash!
