- Variety: Sugar pie pumpkins, also known as pie pumpkins or baking pumpkins, are smaller than carving pumpkins, typically weighing between 2 to 6 pounds. They are part of the Cucurbita pepo species.
- Flavor and Texture: These pumpkins have a sweeter, less watery flesh compared to their larger counterparts, making them ideal for pies, soups, and other baked goods. Their texture is denser and smoother when cooked.
