Fairytale
Fairytale pumpkins are a striking heirloom variety known for their deep ribs, squat shape, and rich flavor. Ranging from dusky tan to muted orange, they are prized not only for their appearance but also for their dense, smooth, vivid orange flesh, which has a sweet, earthy flavor that intensifies when roasted.
Low in moisture, their creamy, concentrated purée is perfect for baking and savory dishes. Fairytale pumpkins shine in soups, stews, pies, breads, and gnocchi, offering a complex, nutty, and buttery taste. Their fine texture and depth make them ideal for recipes where pumpkin is the star.
Easily substituting for pie pumpkins or butternut squash, their large size and nuanced flavor make them perfect for roasting, stuffing, or creating purées for sauces and baked goods.
With their elegant look and outstanding flavor, fairytale pumpkins are a favorite among chefs, home cooks, and gardeners seeking a unique seasonal ingredient.
