Reviews

Red Kuri is a widespread orange pumpkin with orange-yellow meat, now available as organic seed. Like most Hokkaido squashes, it does not need to be peeled before cooking. Very fine nut aroma. Delicious for cream soups. Fruit weight 1-1.5 kg. Stored right, the Red Kuri will last until February if it is harvested in September or October.
