These Jap Pumpkins are currently coming from the Riverland.
Encased in a moderately hard grey shell, the thick edible flesh harbors a central multi-seed cavity. The bright orange flesh offers a consistent sweet mild flavor. Pumpkin seeds, known as pepitas, may be roasted and enjoyed as a snack.
A very tasty source of vitamins and minerals, a pumpkin's nutritious orange flesh offers beta carotene, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C and dietary fiber. Pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil offer zinc and unsaturated fatty acids that are effective in helping prostate problems.
Fresh pumpkin may be cooked in a variety of ways but also keeps very well and may be canned or frozen. Peel and dice into chunks, then cook with onions, carrots, celery, red curry paste and stock, then puree into a Thai-inspired soup.
Simmer diced pumpkin in coconut milk with onions, ginger, garlic and cilantro until cooked through, then serve the curry over rice. Fold one pound of fresh pumpkin puree into muffin batter with raisins, walnuts, cinnamon and nutmeg, then bake. Roast the seeds on a cookie sheet at a low oven temperature; stir often and watch carefully so they don't burn.
To store, keep pumpkin in a cool dry area up to one month, or refrigerate for up to 3 months.
