PAF Tips
It is recommended to store whole pumpkins in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. Once cut, remove the pulp and seeds, wrap the cut surface, refrigerate, and consume as soon as possible. To highlight the natural sweetness of the pumpkin, simply steam or roast it to enjoy as is; when making pumpkin soup or puree, avoid adding too much seasoning to better preserve its original flavor.
