    FAQ

    Where do white pumpkins come from?

    White pumpkins, which were once extremely rare, were bred as albino breeds by pumpkin growers and scientists. While they differ from orange pumpkins in appearance, they are all cultivars of the squash plant and are not botanically considered separate plants.

    What is contained within a white pumpkin?

    The smooth rind ranges from white to ivory, and the flesh is dense and firm, encasing a central cavity filled with pulp and flat, cream- coloured seeds. Some White pumpkin varieties are edible and have a tender texture with a mild, earthy flavour.
