Calabaza is the Spanish name for the most common West Indian pumpkins, which tend to be smaller in size than those in temperate regions and have bright orange flesh and a sweet, rich taste. (C. moschata). The more common names are “rough skin pumpkin” or “crapaud skin pumpkin”. Interestingly, kabocha squash was actually bred from these–hence the similarity in taste, color and texture and the rough skin. . . .
