Smart
tips

Storage

Pumpkins are sensitive to ethylene gas. Don’t store them next to ethylene-producing produce like apples, pears, and tomatoes to avoid 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 prone to pressure marks and cracking.

Presentation

Place pumpkins next to autumn ingredients to boost sales.

Roast the seeds too

Don’t throw the seeds away. Rinse them clean, remove as much of the flesh as possible and leave them to dry thoroughly. Toss them with a little oil and seasoning, then roast them in the oven until crisp.

Growing Method

Our Muscat de Provence pumpkins are grown in open fields. This means they grow naturally outdoors, without greenhouses or other protective structures. This allows the pumpkins to fully benefit from the sun and rain, resulting in a full and rich flavour. Growing them in open fields ensures a natural and pure product for you to enjoy.
