Zapallo

A term used in the Mérida region of Venezuela for the fig-leaf gourd (Cucurbita ficifolia), a climbing vine that produces large, light green fruit with white stripes. (While the word usually refers to common pumpkins in other Spanish-speaking countries, in the Venezuelan Andes it specifically describes this gourd used for sweets.)

A tasty dessert called Cabello de ángel is prepared with this Zapallo.
