For the best casseroles - the best pumpkin

1. When choosing this vegetable, the principle "less is better" applies. Of course, the temptation is great to take a larger version, and it’s enough for a larger number of delicious dishes, besides, the pumpkin can be stored for a long time and is unpretentious to the conditions. But large pumpkins are often not too ripe and fragrant, and their flesh may turn out to be watery or dry, which is not the best option for children. That is why we recommend taking a closer look at pumpkins weighing less than 5 kg.
2. We advise you to carefully look at the peel and conduct one small experiment: press on it, and if after that you find a dent, then you have an unripe vegetable. You can also click on the pumpkin: if you get a sonorous sound, then it is juicy and ripe. The entire surface of the pumpkin should be a bright uniform color, without flaws and damage, fairly dense.
3. Pay attention to the tail of the pumpkin. It should be a deep dark green color and easily fall off. If you notice that it is neatly cut, then the pumpkin was picked ahead of time.
4. Having already cut the pumpkin, get a couple of seeds out of it: if they are large and thick and can be easily separated from the pulp, then you are lucky - you have acquired a ripe and tasty vegetable that is ready for all your culinary experiments. But if this is not so, do not be sad: the pumpkin will ripen right at your place.

Cooking

The fact is that a blender, no matter how you try, “passes” large fibers. For an adult, they are not at all noticeable, but babies who haven’t tried anything other than liquid foods may not like them at all, and can be discouraged from “adult” food for a long time. So it’s better not to take risks, but to arm yourself with a sieve, especially since only 100 grams will need to be wiped!
