Hokkaido Pumpkin

Vegetable

Hokkaido Pumpkin

A tier

Hokkaido pumpkin overlaps red kuri/potimarron in many markets—orange-red skin, compact fruit, and dry sweet flesh associated with Japan’s Hokkaido growing reputation. Cold northern production can enhance sugar and storage. Name is geographic-quality branding as much as strict cultivar. Use as red kuri: roast, soup, tempura. Seek firm heavy fruit with dull rind. Excellent when you want kabocha sweetness in a smaller orange package.
