Can I eat pumpkin raw?

It's typically safe to eat pumpkin raw, but it's not a very common practice. Uncooked pumpkin is hard, and doesn't taste very nice.

Which pumpkin is best for salad?

Any pumpkin or winter squash can be used for salads. Butternut squash, sugar pumpkin, delicata squash or acorn squash are popular choices.

What's the difference between pumpkin and squash?

Pumpkin and squash are very similar, and the main difference between the two is the density of the stem and the seeds. While pumpkins are available during fall, leading up to November, several types of winter squash tends to be available all year around. There are several varieties of squash, pumpkin and gourds, and they all have different textures and flavors.

How do you store pumpkin salad?

Most pumpkin salads can be stored for 1-3 days in a sealed container in a refrigerator. To make them last longer, I recommend that you store the dressing separate from the salad, and mix them together when you're ready to eat.

Can you eat roasted pumpkin cold?

Absolutely! Roasted pumpkin or squash is often served cold in salads. Most pumpkin salad recipes will instruct you to cool it down before you add the other salad ingredients.

Can you eat pumpkin seeds?

Yes. Pumpkin seeds are perfectly edible, however not every type of pumpkin or squash will produce tasty seeds. They are often dried, salted and roasted first, and then served as a snack or added to salads.
