The “Hokkaido” pumpkin variety is best for making pumpkin pie. The flesh of this pumpkin is sweet, creamy, and very healthy. You can also eat the Hokkaido pumpkin with its skin on. But the meat of the “butternut” pumpkin also goes well with the pumpkin pie. Here, however, you have to remove the shell. Special pumpkin tools can be very helpful here.
