What Are Sweet Pumpkins?
Sweet pumpkins, also known as sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins, are a smaller variety of pumpkins that are typically sweeter and less fibrous than larger pumpkins. They are usually used for making desserts such as pumpkin pie, custards, and baked goods. These pumpkins have a smoother texture, and their flesh is thinner, making them easier to puree. Sweet pumpkins are usually harvested in the fall and are often sold in markets and grocery stores during the autumn season.
