Cucurbita moschata variety 'Balm' is a high-yielding late-maturing variety with a vegetative period of 125-130 days. The plant features a strong, long stem reaching 3-4 meters in length. The fruits are round and slightly flattened, brown in color without pattern, with a weight ranging from 4.6 to 6.2 kilograms. The flesh is dark-orange, medium-density, crisp, juicy, and sweet, providing excellent taste qualities.

The variety has a high content of beneficial substances: soluble solids 9.6-10.2%, total sugar 6.7-7.5%, carotene 15.6-18 mg%, vitamin C 12-13.5 mg%, and pectin 1.5-1.9%. Due to these characteristics, 'Balm' pumpkin is ideal for table consumption and is the best choice for processing into juice and puree.
