There are quite a few types of Citrouilles, if you garden. Pie Pumpkin is a much smaller pumpkin that contains less water than decorative pumpkins grown for Jack o Lanterns and decorations. Both types are Citrouilles on the labels, which are bilingual throughout Canada.
I think Potiron seeds would be available to purchase here.
I am not familiar with Potiron.
I found this type.
Potimarron (newer variety , word comes from Potiron and Marron)
A few seeds results in a lot of pumpkin, and they take over the garden .
I don’t like pumpkin enough to grow them. I have grown pie pumpkins several times.
Quebecers use pie pumpkin in their pies
looks like Potiron originated in Uruguay or Argentina.
I was curious enough to see if there are Quebec recipes for Potiron. I found one. The Potiron is called a Potiron Squash in the recipe.
When I Google “Potiron Squash” in Canada, Red Kuri Squash is the search result.
