How to choose fresh red pumpkin
- You should choose fruits that are smooth, slightly round, and evenly plump. They should have a dark brown color, slightly bumpy but not have many dark spots or blemishes.
- Choose fruits with a stem length of 2 – 5 cm, press down and feel if the pumpkin is still firm, heavy, and solid.
- Avoid choosing fruits that are bruised or rotten, feel light in hand, or have a strange smell, as they are likely spoiled or have been damaged by insects inside.
