A fabulously tasty pumpkin that can be roasted, steamed, or fried in tempura batter. Roasting enhances its sweet, nutty flavour—just cut into wedges, drizzle with olive oil, and roast until tender. It’s also perfect for soups, curries, or pies. The skin softens when cooked, so no peeling is needed.
