If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, these are indeed a beautiful pumpkin that falls into the Turban & Buttercup group of squashes. They are a pumpkin within a pumpkin – one end having a pumpkin of smooth skin bursting out through a lumpy and highly ridged shoulder. The taste is excellent – quite sweet with a nutty, chestnut flavour and firm texture – good for roasting or making pumpkin pie or soup.
