🛍 Product Information (Main) (English)：
French Organic Halloween Pumpkin (scientific name: Cucurbita pepo 'Jack-o'-lantern'), also known as French Organic Carving Pumpkin or Festival Pumpkin, is a variety bred specifically for Halloween jack-o'-lantern carving, native to the Americas and widely grown in France's Brittany and Provence organic farms. It's a trailing annual vine in the Cucurbitaceae family, producing round or oval fruits 20-40 cm in diameter, weighing 5-15 kg, with smooth, deep orange-red skin, thick orange flesh that's slightly fibrous, and flat black seeds. Harvested in autumn (September-October), French organic cultivation follows strict EU standards, skipping synthetic pesticides and fertilizers for residue-free safety. French Halloween pumpkins have a sweet, nutty flavor like chestnuts with cinnamon notes, perfect for carving lanterns or culinary use. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, pumpkins are warming, entering the Spleen and Stomach meridians to tonify qi, strengthen spleen, resolve dampness, and stop diarrhea, aiding poor appetite, loose stools, or autumn weakness. French organic versions promote sustainable farming, ideal for family holidays and healthy eating, but diabetics should consume moderately.
