Pumpkin Queensland Blue is one of Australia’s most popular blue pumpkins, the seeds of this uniquely Aussie pumpkin were shared with the United States back in 1932, and this Australian heirloom is now famous throughout the world.
Queensland blue is a medium-sized pumpkin which has the blossom and stem ends flattened.
It is deeply ribbed, with hard slate grey skin and a yellow-orange flesh growing to around 8 – 9 kg and it has excellent storage qualities.
Queensland Blue is a versatile pumpkin variety that is great roasted, chopped in curries or blended into soups.
It’s thin skin means that this pumpkin variety has delicious, orange flesh that goes most of the way to the edge, but the skin can also be eaten and adds a nice crunch when left on pumpkin pieces, seasoned with herbs and roasted.
The seeds can be roasted and eaten as pepitas.
