Rouge Vif D’ Etampes Pumpkin here at baker creek.
Most beautiful, flattened, and ribbed large fruit are a gorgeous deep red-orange. A very old French Heirloom, this was the most common pumpkin in the Central Market in Paris back in the 1880’s. The flesh is tasty in pies or baked. Like summer squash, this one can also be picked small and fried. As a bonus, it’s a good yielder.
