🎃 Did you know that 14 million pumpkins go to waste each Halloween in the UK? Often chosen for looks rather than taste, traditional pumpkins lack flavour, nutrients, and rot quickly after carving. But there’s a better option! At Riverford, we’re all about sustainable choices, so this Halloween, we celebrated with a squash decorating competition! Unlike pumpkins, squash are packed with flavour, loaded with nutrients, and can be stored for months. Not only did we see some incredible creativity from our co-owners, but we also encouraged everyone to cook up a delicious meal with their decorated squash—grown for bellies, not bins! Check out our competition winner and runners-up below, and if you’re looking for a tasty way to reduce food waste, explore our recipes and tips for choosing squash over pumpkins: Choose Taste, Not Waste. - https://bit.ly/40FgYtG Let’s celebrate sustainability together! 🌱 #ChooseTasteNotWaste #Riverford
