Ugly Duckling Pumpkin Seeds
This French heirloom is the not-so-pretty counterpart to the Cinderella pumpkin. This variety is the same shape and size as Cinderella, but the exterior has various colors ranging from dark orange, green stripes, and pale yellow splotches. The exterior is bumpier than the Cinderella pumpkin, but the thick flesh inside is the true reward for growing these. The flavor is described as sweet and custard-like.
