Jack o lantern pumpkin seeds

[educate]

I have about 100 seeds from a pumpkin I carved. I don't know the variety but it is the unedible type which is a dark orange and easy to cut.

If you have the space and want to grow them, I can send you some. I guess I will send 5 envelopes (20 seeds each).

Let me know

Edit - sorry, I can only send in Australia

I'm curious about the inedible aspect...

It is completely unpalatable, or does it require some sort of particular preparation?

Anyone actually tried to eat a JoL pumpkin?

It probably is edible but there is just not much flesh. I was trying to find the variety with a quick google search and found some pie recipes but I couldn't establish if it was actually from that pumpkin. It looks like this type.

This page says it is edible.

I was going to buy one of these from Safeways over the weekend but they were asking 29 bucks. I usually get the Jap pumpkin and carve that out, but its not easy. So , May i please grab a few seeds too. Cheers.

Yeah, expensive. I got one from a cheap vege shop and I picked the smallest one they had. That was $6.

So if you grow your own you will have some spare to give away to your neighbours;)
