Smart
tips

Storage

Pumpkins are sensitive to ethylene gas. Keep them away from ethylene-producing fruits like apples, pears, and tomatoes to prevent faster wilting.

Store pumpkins in a dry place, as they are sensitive to moisture.

Do not stack

Avoid stacking pumpkins. Although their skin is tough, pumpkins are still prone to pressure marks and cracks.

Presentation

Place pumpkins next to autumn ingredients to help boost sales.

Matching herbs

Pair it with herbs like thyme and rosemary for a savoury twist.
