The plant is vine-like with sturdy medium-sized stems and abundant foliage. For successful cultivation, it is recommended to use non-acidic, loamy, and loose soils, as well as to regularly moisten the soil and apply complex fertilizers. The pumpkin is sensitive to temperature drops, which should be taken into account when choosing a planting site.
The fruits of the Danaya variety have an oval shape and are uniform in size and weight, with an average weight of 3 to 5 kg. The skin is smooth, dense, and colored yellow-green or yellow-orange. The flesh is bright yellow, juicy, and homogeneous, with a pleasant sweet taste and fruity notes. The fruits lack a hard seed coat, which facilitates their use in cooking.
This pumpkin variety is widely used in preparing various dishes and is suitable for dietary and children's food due to its high vitamin content. Danaya pumpkin can serve as a base for making beverages, with its juice tasting like apricot. Additionally, the fruits are well-suited for long-distance transport and retain their taste qualities for a long time during storage.
