Mini Pumpkin

This pumpkin tastes similar to most other seasonal squashes. They have a delicate, fluffy, and somewhat sweet flavour when freshly cooked, and may be roasted, steamed, sautéed, baked, braised, tempura-friend, or pureed to make bread, croquets, confections, and cakes. While canned pumpkin has a subdued flavour.

STORAGE

Mini pumpkins may be stored for up to a month in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight. Whereas sliced pumpkins can be kept in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
