I'm selling over 600 + kinds of seeds ( and also live plants during the warmer months ) so check my other auctions . You are bidding on 15 BLAZE PUMPKIN SEEDS - Cucurbita maxima . ( the last three pictures show the other kinds I have listed for sale ) Add a welcoming touch to your private or commercial pumpkin patch . Flashy yellow, orange-striped fruits are flattened-round with shallow ribs. Sturdy, short-vine plants have excellent powdery mildew resistance and produce very high yields of 2 1/2–3 1/2 lb., 7" diam. x 3 1/2" tall fruits with exceptional uniformity in shape and size. Bright color and remarkable productivity make Blaze a fantastic addition to any ornamental lineup . Edible parts of : Fruit - cooked. A delicious flavor when baked, rather like a sweet potato. The flesh can be dried, ground into a powder and used with cereals in making bread, cakes etc. Some varieties can be stored for up to 9 months. Seed - raw or cooked. Rich in oil with a very pleasant nutty flavor but very fiddly to use because the seed is small and covered with a fibrous coat. The seed can also be ground into a powder and used with cereals in making breads etc. An oil is obtained from the seed. Young flowers - raw or cooked. They are often dipped in batter and fried. Young leaves and stems - cooked. The leaves contain up to 5% protein. Medicinal use of : The seeds are diuretic, tonic and vermifuge. The complete seed, together with the husk, is used as a vermifuge. This is ground into a fine flour, then made into an emulsion with water and eaten. It is then necessary to take a purgative afterwards in order to expel the tapeworms or other parasites from the body. As a remedy for internal parasites, the seeds are less potent than the root of Dryopteris felix-mas, but they are safer for pregnant women, debilitated patients and children. The oil from the seed is used as a nerve tonic. The fruit pulp is used as a soothing poultice on burns, inflammations and boils. Other uses of : The seed contains 34 - 54% of a semi-drying oil. Used for lighting. A nourishing face-mask can be made from the fruit that is effective for dry skins.
