Conventionally grown
Specialty pumpkins: Marina di Chioggia Pumpkin
Marina di Chioggia squash is medium in size, and is round, short, and squat in shape. The dark green to gray-blue skin has slight, vertical ridging and is almost completely covered in bumps known as sugar warts, which are created from the buildup of extra sugars in the squash’s skin and flesh. When mature, the skin will be hardened to the point that it cannot be dented with a fingernail and the stem at the cap will be rough, rigid, and brown. When cooked, Marina di Chioggia squash is tender and sweet with nutty flavors.
