Nutritional Information

There are different pumpkin varieties which give them unique shapes and forms. For cooking with pumpkin, Pie Pumpkins are preferable due to their sweetness and dried flesh. See Pumpkin Recipes for cooking ideas.

Storing and Preparing Pumpkins

Storing
Pumpkins should be kept in a cool, dry place where there is no risk of freezing.Once a pumpkin is carved it will begin to decompose quickly, so we recommend waiting as long as possible before carving pumpkins.


Pumpkin Puree
Pumpkin flesh can be used to make pumpkin puree, which is used in soups, pumpkin pie and other recipes. we recommend pie pumpkins which are sweeter and drier than regular pumpkins, they are smaller in size as well, which is ideal for cooking. You can also substitute pumpkin puree for squash puree.
