This pumpkin doesn't taste like pumpkin. It's watery and not starchy. It's like a pumpkin-flavored mango, but it has a lot of fiber.

I needed some butternut squash to make a fall stew, but didn't want to fresh butternut squash as I know I'm not going to use the whole squash. So glad that Sayweee carries the frozen ones.
