How to choose delicious pumpkin
- A good pumpkin usually has an orange-yellow color, mixed with dark green, yellow flesh, and has a sweet, fragrant taste and a relatively chewy texture.
- Choose heavy, firm pumpkins with smooth skin.
- Choose pumpkins with a stem length of 2 – 5cm. Those with short stems tend to rot faster.
- Pumpkins should be round, with naturally scored sections that are relatively even.
