The sweetest pumpkins are cultivated for their culinary qualities. These include the sugar pumpkin (also known as pie pumpkin), the Cinderella pumpkin (Rouge Vif d'Etampes) and the Fairy Tale pumpkin. When choosing a pumpkin for baking or cooking purposes, look for those labeled as sugar pumpkins, as they are specifically bred for their delicious, sweet flavor and smooth texture.
