There are several things to bear in mind when choosing a pumpkin for Halloween, before getting creative and turning it into a real terror. Help!<\/p>\n
Shape<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Round, regular and impressive. Avoid long ones or unevenly shaped ones.<\/p>\n Touch<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Give it a good feel: it should be hard and even. If you find any soft spots, it\u2019s goodbye, pumpkin. The same goes for any cuts or marks.<\/p>\n Stability<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Don\u2019t even think of leaving without making sure it balances perfectly on any surface. You don\u2019t want any nasty surprises later!<\/p>\n Stalk<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s best to go for a pumpkin without a stalk. If it does have one, don\u2019t pick it up by the stalk as you may damage it.<\/p>\n Colour<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The pumpkin should have a uniform fiery colour, without any green or white marks.<\/p>\n Conservation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n To make sure it keeps for as long as possible, store it in a dry, fresh place once you get home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are several things to bear in mind when choosing a pumpkin for Halloween, before getting creative and turning it…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15249,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3106],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
