Pumpkin Jap produces dark green, slightly mottled rounded fruit with a creamy-yellow, sweet, nutty flesh. It prefers full sun or as sunny a spot as possible with well drained, fertilised soil. The pumpkin cuts easily and can be grilled, roasted or steamed. It’s a hearty, delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used to make anything from rich soups to desserts such as pumpkin pie, spiced cake and scones.
