Pumpkin Rouge Vif d'Etampes, celebrated as "Cinderella" pumpkin in North America, represents a distinguished French heirloom prized for both ornamental beauty and culinary merit. The vivid scarlet skin—"rouge vif" translating to "vivid red"—creates a striking visual presence in fall displays, while the distinctive flattened, cheese-wheel shape adds architectural interest to seasonal arrangements. Fruits average 10 to 15 pounds, offering ideal proportions for home bakers and smaller households. The moderately sweet, dense orange flesh delivers excellent results in traditional pumpkin and squash pies, with a texture that resists excessive stringiness during preparation. This variety matures reliably in approximately 90 days, accommodating most growing regions and allowing timely harvest before frost. With an 80% or higher germination rate, these Non-GMO heirloom seeds maintain genetic integrity while ensuring consistent performance season after season. Sustainable cultivation practices and environmentally responsible, recyclable packaging demonstrate commitment to ecological stewardship. Rouge Vif d'Etampes bridges the gap between ornamental appeal and practical kitchen use, making it an exceptional choice for gardeners seeking authentic European genetics with proven culinary applications.
