Australian Butter Pumpkin seeds (Rare)
The Australian Butter Pumpkin is a rare heirloom that is finding a resurgence in popularity here in the U.S. It was discovered in an Amish mountain community in Maryland where it had been grown for generations.
This pumpkin is somewhat drum-shaped. It has a thick deep salmon-colored rind, with thick flesh walls inside. The flesh is a little drier and fine-grained. It also has a unique drum shape and a "button bottom". Due to their thick rind, these will hold over the wintertime and can last up to a year. It is said that once this squash is cooked, the flesh becomes buttery and creamy, and tastes great with herb oil, balsamic vinaigrette, or citrus zest.
Due to its buttery flavor, this squash pairs well with fowl and fish. It's also great sauteed with root vegetables. The pumpkins will range between 7-15 lbs.
