About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

You will find an old, sturdy landrace and the classic pickled and compote pumpkin of grandma's kitchen. The large, round, bright yellow fruits weigh ten to twenty kilos and yield very reliably, even on simple soil. The flesh is mild and neutral in taste, making it excellent for sweet-sour pickling or for chutney and compote. Sturdy, low-maintenance, and well-stored, a grateful pumpkin for beginners and large families.

You will notice mild, light flesh without an intrusive own aroma, and it readily takes up spices and sweetness.
