Question: what is the difference between halloween pumpkins and cooking pumpkins?
Answer: Pie pumpkins tend to have a sweeter, richer flavor than a carving pumpkin. Carving pumpkins will likely have a sort of bland, maybe a little bitter flavor. If you've got the option, always choose a pie pumpkin over a carving pumpkin for baking. What's your favorite way to enjoy pumpkin?
