How to Choose a Good Pumpkin? 3 Infallible Tips.

How To

1. When you hesitate between several pumpkins on the fruit and vegetable display, choose a very firm pumpkin. If it's a little soft, it's way too ripe inside.

2. The skin of the pumpkin must be beautiful, a bit like our skin after performing a scrub. If it has stains, it may be that it received shocks. It must therefore be uniformly orange.

3. What size should I take? For that, you have to count in pounds. The weight in pounds of a pumpkin will give its weight in edible flesh. So if your pumpkin is 2 pounds, it will give you the equivalent of two cups of flesh to consume.

With this trick you now know how to choose the most beautiful pumpkin on the display :-)
