Pumpkins 'Plein de Naples' / 'Lunga di Napoli'

Large, elongated fruits with a "belly," can reach up to 60 cm in length. Smooth, dark green skin, which develops large and small mustard-yellow stripes during late ripening and eventually ripens to a completely beige-yellow color. Such a fruit, when consumed, naturally provides an abundance of flesh. This flesh is orange-yellow, deliciously sweet, and has a good aroma. From the description, it is clear that this is a good storage variety. Tip: harvest a few fruits very young as an early treat; they taste like zucchini with a slight musky aroma.
