Blue Doll Pumpkins range in shape from round and slightly flattened, ovate, to blocky with somewhat square shoulders and a flat base. The rind can be thick to thin with varying degrees of a smooth, firm, and taut surface to a bumpy texture with prominent ridging. These pumpkins will display a gradient of color tones comprised of blue, green, and grey hues. Underneath the surface, the thick flesh is typically bright to dark orange and has a dense, slippery, and hard nature. These pumpkins release a vegetal and sweet aroma when sliced and are most commonly utilized in cooked preparations.
