Long Island Cheese Pumpkins are flattened, shaped like a cheese-box used to be shaped.

They have smooth, tan-coloured rind with moderate ribbing, and weigh 2 1/2 to 4 ½ kg (6 to 10 pounds ).

They have relatively sweet, deep-orange flesh which is good for pies.

90 to 100 days from seed.

Storage Hints

Stores well.

Language Notes

The “Long Island” part of their name comes from Long Island, New York, whence the seed is said to have originated.

‘When she goes about her kitchen duties, chopping, carving, mixing, whisking, she moves with the grace and precision of a ballet dancer, her fingers plying the food with the dexterity of a croupier.’ — Craig Claiborne (American food writer. 4 September 1920 – 22 January 2000)
