Long Island Cheese Pumpkin seeds

Stunning and squash borer resistant! This pumpkin originates from Long Island, NY. It was introduced to the market in the 1860s and is considered one of the oldest heirloom pumpkins to date. This pumpkin has earned its name due to its similar appearance to a wheel of cheese.  The exterior is smooth and buff-colored with subtle ribbing. These have an impressive shelf life of 4-6 months. The flesh isn't as stringy as other pumpkin varieties so preparation has been simplified when using the Long Island Cheese Pumpkin for your dishes.
