If you’re looking for something different to spice up your Halloween decorations, try giving these unusual pumpkins a try.
Real, white pumpkins are an albino variety specifically bred by growers for their special color.
Although they used to be a fairly uncommon sight, they are becoming more popular, and more commercially available.
White pumpkins:
- Can be carved like orange.
- Are better for painting purposes than orange.
- Can often be substituted for orange in recipes.
- Have become a wedding theme.
White pumpkin varieties include:
- Lumina
- Cotton Candy
- Baby Boo
Cotton Candy is recommended out of the three as the best carving white pumpkin.
If you can’t find a white pumpkin and you’re dying for one, you can cheat by spray painting an orange one.
I have noticed more white pumpkins this year. Also fake white pumpkins used for decorating, such as the one I have, are much more prevalent this year.
