Much like picking a partner, choosing the perfect pumpkin can feel overwhelming. 🎃
, in Sparks, Nevada has guidance to offer for how to choose a pumpkin, given that the farm grows between eight and nine acres of pumpkins per year. Below, get Andelin's top tips for how to choose any pumpkin, whether you're cooking and carving it.“You want it to feel nice and heavy for its size,” Andelin says. So, make sure to pick up your pumpkin to assess its weight before committing to one.“Once pumpkins lose their stem, they start to deteriorate,” says Andelin.
Take a polar bear pumpkin for example: It's meant to be as white as paper, yet it can easily “sunburn” or yellow if left out in the sun for too long. According to Andelin, pumpkins can scar over and naturally heal any gashes they get while growing. In fact, some growers even intentionally scar pumpkins to create unique designs on the surface. However, once it’s cut from the vine, an unhealed gash will dry out and possibly contribute to molding.
