Esmeralda

The 'Emerald' pumpkin variety is a medium-early sprawling cultivar with a vegetative period of about 105-115 days. The plant is distinguished by its beautiful variegated, intricately cut leaves, resembling zucchini leaves. The fruits of this variety are round, slightly ribbed, and a rich dark green or yellow-green color with grey speckling, weighing from 2.5 to 4.5 kg. Additionally, up to 6-8 fruits form on a single plant, ensuring high yield.

The pumpkin flesh is dense, juicy, and pale yellow, with a thickness of about 2.5 cm. A feature of the variety is the presence of large olive-colored seeds without a parchment layer, which allows them to be eaten without cleaning. The seeds have a pleasant sweet taste and can be consumed both raw and after roasting. They are suitable for both planting and culinary use.

The 'Emerald' variety is versatile in application and beneficial for health: regular consumption of pumpkin and its seeds helps stabilize blood pressure, improve memory, and cleanse the body. Due to its taste qualities and beneficial properties, this variety is an excellent choice for growing and use in a home household.
