Jack O Lantern Pumpkins

It’s that spooky time of year and as more and more Aussies are embracing the tradition of Halloween so too are your local fruit and veg stores.  This week we see plenty of stock of the specially grown Halloween Pumpkins at the South Australian Produce market floor making their way to fruit and veg retailers all over Adelaide. The Jack O’ Lantern pumpkin is an outstanding variety for decorative uses; fruits are uniformly round and a rich dark orange colour with very little flesh.  Look for them in-stores this week.
