The Sugar Pumpkin is a small, sweet variety of pumpkin, typically weighing between 4 to 8 pounds. It has a smooth, orange skin and a dense, flavorful flesh that is ideal for cooking and baking. This pumpkin is often used in recipes for pies, soups, and other dishes due to its rich taste and creamy texture. Sugar Pumpkins are usually harvested in the fall and are popular during the Halloween and Thanksgiving seasons. They are distinct from larger pumpkins, which are often used for decoration. Their sweetness makes them a favorite choice for making traditional pumpkin pie.
