How to choose fresh and delicious pumpkin
- A good, ripe pumpkin will have a hard outer shell, not deformed or bruised. When you hold the pumpkin, it feels solid and heavy, indicating it is dense and has fewer seeds.
- You should choose pumpkins with fresh stems, about 2cm long, as they will last longer.
- Do not buy if you see the pumpkin has a soft skin, and when cut, the flesh is mushy with signs of decay.
