People typically don’t eat these massive pumpkins because of a bland taste that comes from high water content.
Andy Wolf, who is known for growing massive pumpkins, grew this particular gourd in Little Valley, New York.
As growers continue to push the limits of pumpkin growing, the record weights keep getting higher.
Six years ago the pumpkin on display in San Antonio would have been the world record holder.
