Pie Pumpkins are a specific variety of pumpkin that is smaller and sweeter than the larger pumpkins typically used for decoration. They are often referred to as sugar pumpkins or sweet pumpkins and are ideal for cooking and baking. Their flesh is dense and flavorful, making them perfect for pies, soups, and other dishes. These pumpkins usually weigh between 4 to 8 pounds and have a smooth, orange skin. When cooked, their texture becomes creamy, which enhances the taste of desserts like pumpkin pie. Pie Pumpkins are usually harvested in the fall, aligning with the traditional pumpkin season.
