Pumpkin Small Sugar – Aimer’s Organic Seeds
Cucurbita pepo
Round, sweet, bright orange fruits full of meaty, fine-grained flesh. Small sugar has been the best variety of pumpkin for pumpkin pies since its introduction in the late 1880’s. As an added bonus, this variety stores reasonably well so there is no need to use the entire harvest at once.
