Sugar pumpkins have a firm, sweet flesh that is much smoother than that of larger pumpkins. Sugar pumpkins are only about 15cm to 20cm in diameter.Although they dont boast being the biggest of all, they have a good pumpkin flavour, this combined with their firmer and less stringy flesh, means they have a much more pleasant consistency than that of the larger pumpkin varieties. Theyre great for roasting, making soups and for making pumpkin puree for delicious homemade pumpkin pies.
