What Is A Baking Pumpkin?
A baking pumpkin is a type of pumpkin that is specifically grown for culinary use. Unlike the larger pumpkins we see during Halloween, baking pumpkins are smaller and more flavorful, with thicker walls and less stringy flesh. They are often used in dishes such as pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, and roasted pumpkin, and are prized for their sweet, nutty flavor and smooth texture. Some popular varieties of baking pumpkins include sugar pumpkins, pie pumpkins, and Cinderella pumpkins.
