Nakenfröpumpa ekologiskt frö

Nakenfröpumpa ekologiskt frö (Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca)

Pris för paket med 30 (5g) frön.

Skördefärdig efter ca 130 dagar. Fortfarande den tidigaste Nakenfröpumpa vi hittat.

Rankande men inte bland de mest kraftigvuxna, därför kan man plantera något tätare än de flesta matpumpor. Frukten blir först mörkgrön.

Vid mognandet flammigt guldgul (ej helt). Tunt skaft. Då sorten är sen bör den förkultiveras. Ger stora mörkgröna frön.

Pumpafrö är goda, nyttiga och användbara i många sammanhang. Man kan använda de flesta pumpafrön i färskt stadium, men lagrade får de flesta pumpasorter ett tjockt hårt skal. Men denna österikiska specialitet har gröna frön med mycket tunt skal som man lätt tuggar genom. Dessutom har fröet högt oljeinnehåll och är mycket välsmakande. Odlas idag på tusentals hektar och lär nog snabbt öka. Man kan också bara utvinna den gröna oljan.

Odling:

Utsädesmängd: 2 frön sås på varje plats, sortera bort den sämsta plantan

Såtid: förkultiveras i slutet av april-maj

Sådjup: ca 0.5 cm

Groningstid: ca 6-10 dagar

Lägst/optimal groningstemperatur: 17/30°C

Plantavstånd: 50-60 cm

Radavstånd: 150-200 cm

1000 frön=1M= ca 210 g

110 days — Although pumpkins were originally a "New World" species, naked-seeded pumpkins have been developed over many generations in the Styrian region of Austria where they are known as Ölkürbis or literally, oil squash.

Naked-seeded pumpkins, also known as oil seed or hulless pumpkins, are characterized by having a thin membranous seed coat (testa) rather than the hard, lignified seed coat that conventional pumpkin seeds have. This makes the entire seed edible and easily pressed to extract the prized culinary oil.

Since the seeds do not have a protective seed coat, either start seeds indoors in peat pots, or wait so direct sow in the garden after the soil has warmed to 70-75F. The plants should be spaced from one to two feet apart in rows spaced six to eight feet apart. The vines will reach eight to ten feet in length, develop shade leaves that grow up to two-and-a-half feet across, and typically produce four to eight fruits that average twelve to fifteen pounds each but that can reach up to twenty two pounds!

To harvest seeds, allow unblemished fruit to fully ripen and then clean and dry the seeds. Seed saving requires delicate handling, as the thin, green skin is fragile to the touch. Eating the seeds raw provides the most nutritional value. Roasting adds flavors.

In addition to being a healthy snack food, the oil is used in salads and drizzled on soups and pasta. Due to its low smoke point temperature, it can not be used for frying.

And you do not need to waste all of the flesh. Traditionally it is used as animal feed but it is tasty and fine enough to be used in pies, breads, and other pumpkin recipes.
