Olinka, Pumpkin

Open Pollinated Pumpkin. | C. Pepo | QTY: 20 Seeds | 95 Days

Here’s a pumpkin with a different angle. It is round, green with a lot of orange but its primary “difference” is its naked seed! We all love to roast and salt pumpkin seeds to eat as a snack. But some of us can’t digest the hulls. Olinka’s seeds do not have hulls, only a paper-thin wrapper. This Eastern European pumpkin is productive of both pumpkins and seeds!  The meat is also very good and savory, fried or sautéed!
