Pumpkins 'Berrettina Piacentina'
- Product number: 216700
- Origin: South America
- Latin: Cucurbita maxima
The pure grey Spanish variant of the old Italian Marina di Chioggia variety. The taste is very good and popular in Spanish cuisine: firm and slightly nutty in flavour. The firm, undulating, bumpy skin is beautiful. The fruit is often divided into 2 parts by a constriction, sometimes into equal parts, sometimes with a "butt", so you could say this is a grey Turkish Turban! Long shelf life (often 6 months).
Pumpkins can be grown outdoors without any problems. The growing tips can be pruned regularly and are edible! Harvesting during dry weather gives the best storability. All pumpkins are edible!
