How to choose fresh and delicious pumpkin
- Choose pumpkins that are large, straight, firm to the touch, with a natural green skin; if the pumpkin has a black skin, it is overripe and will not taste good when cooked.
- A good pumpkin will have a thick and fat stem; when pressing the body of the pumpkin, you will feel its firmness and freshness.
- Do not buy pumpkins that are soft; these are overripe and will not retain their freshness and characteristic flavor when cooked.
