    Products and ingredients : Japanese chestnut pumpkin (Potimarron)


     

    Japanese chestnut pumpkin (Potimarron)

    The potimarron is a kind of pumpkin which originated in Asia. It's shaped like a very large pear, with a hard reddish-orange skin.

    It is different from the classic pumpkin, especially in 2 respects: the skin is edible, and its flavour - which is rather like chestnut - is stronger.

    If you intend to buy:

    See the seasons calendar about it.

    Potimarrons weight about 2-3 kilos each, they can be kept several times until they are open or cut.
