Giant pumpkin

Smart
tips

Storage

Pumpkins are sensitive to ethylene gas. Avoid placing them next to ethylene-producing vegetables such as apples, pears, and tomatoes to prevent them from wilting faster.

Do not stack

Avoid stacking the pumpkins. Although the skin is firm, pumpkins are sensitive to pressure marks and cracks.

Presentation

Place pumpkins next to autumn ingredients to encourage sales.
