Nope, it should be Kabocha - Japanese pumpkin, a mini size one. Bought it at the West Coast market at the suggestion of the vegetable stall owner, who claimed that it's sweet and the skin can be eaten after steaming. Really? Now this, I gotta try...
Behold the interior of the Kabocha...
and after it's steamed in the pressure cooker...
Surprisingly, the skin turned soft and could be sliced up easily together with the inner flesh using a metal spoon. As it is rich in beta carotene, and contains iron, vitamin C, potassium, and smaller traces of calcium and folic acid, it can be prepared as a simple, healthy snack. Serves up!
