The flesh is deep orange, creamy, aromatic, and sweet, with a subtle nutty flavor. The compact seed cavity ensures a high edible weight, making Isabelle F1 efficient and versatile in the kitchen.

Important cultivation characteristics:
High-yielding F1 hybrid with uniform fruits
Reliable and fast fruit setting
Strong leaf growth protects the fruits
Good resistance to common diseases

For optimal results, Isabelle F1 grows best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Sow indoors from April or outdoors from late May, once the soil temperature is consistently above 15°C. Regular watering and mulching promote yield and fruit quality.
The aromatic and sweet flesh of Isabelle F1 is very versatile in the kitchen. It's firm enough for roasting, but becomes soft and buttery when boiled or pureed, making it suitable for a wide variety of dishes.
Recommended applications:
Roasted pumpkin cubes or slices
Creamy pumpkin soups
Stews and curries
Puree for pasta, gnocchi or baby food
