A Japanese heirloom variety. Teardrop shaped 1.5-2.5 kilo fruit with bright orange skin and smooth textured, rich flavoured flesh. The stunning skin is edible and adds to the nutty flavour. Also known as Utsugi Akagawa Amaguri in Japan, the name means ‘Utsugi red-skinned sweet chestnut’ shortened to ‘Red Kuri’. And in France ‘Potimarron’, French potiron, ‘pumpkin’ and maron ‘chestnut’.
They are versatile in cooking, delicious baked in wedges with olive oil and salt. They make beautiful pumpkin soup in flavour and colouring – leave the skin on. They excel in slow cooked stews and risotto side dishes.
