The skin is orange and ridged or may be a warm creamy orange color. The orange flesh of the hollow, seed filled pumpkin is hard when raw and becomes very soft when cooked. The texture is stringy until mashed or pureed. It has a sweet squash flavor and can be used for dishes that are both savory and sweet.
