Today (4/27) I planted Orange Salad Pumpkin seeds. This is a hybrid pumpkin that is harvested young and eaten raw.
This Pumpkin is primarily eaten raw. We marinate thin slices in vinegar and honey and arrange on a plate to resemble a flower. The texture is firm and the taste is delicious, not to mention beautiful.
Orange Salad Pumpkin plants are fast growing and the fruit is harvested young making is a quick food source. I live in a sub-tropical region and seeds are planted between April and May and harvested between July and August.
