The Peanut Pumpkin on the right-hand bottom corner (Cucurbita maxima 'Galeux d'Eysine') is a unique heirloom pumpkin variety, characterized by its distinctive, peanut-like protrusions that dot its pinkish rind. While some may find its appearance unconventional or unattractive, these âpeanutsâ are actually the result of excess sugar accumulating in the pumpkin's flesh. And yes, you read that rightâexcess sugar! The flesh is not only edible but also sweet and delicious. These warty growths contribute to an exceptionally sweet pulp, making it ideal for desserts like pies, breads, and cheesecakes. Known as Galeux d'Eysine, this heirloom variety boasts a history of 220 years and is believed to be a cross between a Hubbard squash and an unidentified pumpkin variety. As an heirloom, you can save the seeds from the Peanut Pumpkin for planting in the following year, unlike hybrid varieties.
