FAIRY-TALE FLAVOR

Incontestably France's favorite pumpkin


The Muscade de Provence or Muscat de Provence, is an heirloom "fairy tale" variety pumpkin. Le must for a Velouté de Potiron with its slightly sweet, fine nutty flavor and deep orange flesh.

Vocabulary
un potiron: a pumpkin
le must: the have-to-have item
un velouté: a cream soup
muscade: nutmeg

Gardners: Seeds for this pumpkin variety are available in the U.S. from Planet Natural
