tips

Storage

Pumpkins are sensitive to ethylene gas. Do not place pumpkins next to 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 sensitive to pressure spots and cracks.

Presentation

Place pumpkins alongside autumn ingredients to boost sales.

Growing Method

BelOrta’s Rouge Vif d’Étampes pumpkins are grown outdoors, meaning they develop in open air. This natural environment allows the pumpkins plenty of space to grow and absorb the nutrients they need from the soil. The result is firm, flavourful pumpkins that fit perfectly in a variety of dishes.
