Pumpkin - Red Kuri
Sweet, nutty and naturally rich, our organic Red Kuri pumpkin is a distinctive winter squash with vibrant orange-red skin and smooth, creamy flesh. Also known as Hokkaido pumpkin, it develops a delicious chestnut-like flavour when roasted.
Enjoy fresh organic Red Kuri pumpkin roasted until caramelised, blended into creamy soups, added to curries and risottos, or used in purees and baking. Its skin also softens when cooked, so there's often no need to peel it before roasting.
Order organic Red Kuri pumpkin online in NZ from Eden’s Box and have fresh organic vegetables delivered straight to your door.
Store your organic Red Kuri pumpkin whole in a cool, dark, dry and well-ventilated place, such as a pantry or cupboard. Keep the pumpkin dry and avoid removing the stem, as an intact stem can help extend its storage life.
When properly cured and stored, a whole Red Kuri pumpkin can keep for around 2–4 months or longer under ideal conditions. Check your pumpkin occasionally and use it if you notice any soft spots or signs of deterioration.
Once cut, wrap your fresh organic pumpkin tightly or place it in a sealed container in the refrigerator. For longer-term storage, Red Kuri pumpkin can be roasted, steamed or chopped and frozen for several months.
Red Kuri is prized for its sweet, nutty flavour and smooth texture, making it excellent for roasting, soups, curries, purees, baking and pumpkin dishes.
