The Japanese pumpkin is small, about the size of a palm, the peel is dark green with light green stripes, high sweetness, powdery and glutinous, and the flesh is fine.
The pumpkin is also known as golden chestnut melon. Because of its powdery and sweet taste, it has an aroma and tastes similar to chestnuts. Even if it is steam-cooked without any seasoning, the natural sweetness is enough to conquer the taste buds. High in protein, low in fiber, and high in vitamin A and C, it is a good health food. There is a special substance in the pulp that promotes insulin secretion, lowers blood sugar levels, and has special effects on preventing and treating diabetes.
