Details
The Black-Striped Hulless Pumpkin is a stunning, dual-purpose variety, prized for its eye-catching dark green and orange camouflage-striped exterior and delicious hulless seeds. These medium-small pumpkins weigh 5 to 8 pounds and feature a slightly oblate, delicately ribbed shape, making them a beautiful autumn display piece before being harvested for their nutty, flavorful seeds. The seeds require no shelling and can be roasted, eaten fresh, or used for oil extraction, offering a savory and nutritious snack.
This semi-bush variety is ideal for small gardens, with compact, short vines that reach 7 to 9 feet—perfect for those with limited space. The plants are vigorous and highly productive, yielding pumpkins that mature in fall. After use as seasonal décor, simply scoop out the hulled seeds, rinse, salt (if desired), and roast until golden brown for a delightful treat.
