Botchan Pumpkin
The botchan pumpkin is more nutritious than the standard pumpkin, and has a strong sweet taste and a soft texture. The selling point of the botchan pumpkin is that it is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and both its skin and fruit are soft, making it easy to cut with a household knife and easy to use up.

They are delicious however they are prepared; boiled, steamed, or baked. They can even be prepared in the microwave. Simply cut into small pieces, cover in plastic wrap and microwave until soft. Their small size means they can even be used as stylish bowls when hollowed out- simply fill with salad or soup. The botchan pumpkin is a fun ingredient that can be used in so many different ways!
