Hokkaido pumpkins originate from the Japanese baby Hokkaido. They have a high nutritional value and are rich in fiber, vitamin A, potassium and beta carotene, which is an antioxidant. The best thing about Hokkaido pumpkin is that you don't need to peel it! The skin is thin and edible and blends well when cooking or baking.
