Smart
tips

Storage

Pumpkins are sensitive to ethylene gas. Don’t place them next to ethylene-producing produce such as apples, pears and tomatoes to avoid faster wilting.

Store pumpkins in a dry spot, as they’re sensitive to moisture.

Do not stack

Avoid stacking pumpkins. Although their skins are sturdy, they’re prone to pressure spots and cracking.

Presentation in the store

Display pumpkins alongside other autumn ingredients to boost sales.
