Pumpkin season is already well under way and the first pumpkin soups have already been savoured. In the autumn, pumpkins continue to be available until mid-November. The bright orange of the pumpkin makes it a popular decoration for the home. Whether carved or plain, a pumpkin on the table creates the perfect autumn vibe. Add the finishing touches to your table decoration by combining a pumpkin with an autumnal bouquet of carnations, hydrangeas or dahlias and rosehip twigs. Use the pumpkin as a vase to create a focal point for the room. The star of the season also provides an inviting autumnal welcome in the entrance hall. If you want to try something new, grab some paint and a brush and give the pumpkins a lick of paint. Choose monotone or a patterned designed. Alongside the classic shades of orange, brightly coloured pumpkins in delicate tones such as lavender or sage are a new trend this autumn.
The autumn all-rounder not only looks great; it also tastes delicious. In addition to delicious soups, there are many other autumnal recipes for which the pumpkin is a crucial ingredient. What’s more, pumpkin is also extremely healthy and contains important nutrients such as vitamins and fibre. Pumpkins have environmental benefits too, as they can be grown in many parts of the world, and the pulp, seeds and peel of some pumpkins can be recycled.
