Pepitas Pumpkin is a hybrid pumpkin variety known for its delicious and nutritious Seeds. "Pepitas," which is Spanish for "naked seed," produces Seeds without the tough outer hull found on traditional pumpkin varieties. Pumpkin Seeds have numerous health benefits including being high in antioxidants, high in fiber, and the ability to lower blood sugar levels. Pepitas Pumpkin produces 9-12 lb pumpkins that have a yellow to light orange base with beautiful, decorative green stripes. The interior of the fruits reveals a beautiful orange flesh that is also great to eat! This variety has vigorous vines that are resistant to powdery mildew and should be given plenty of room to grow. Pepitas was awarded the All-America Selection designation in 2016 for it's unique appearance, plant vigor and flavor.
