Freshness Test
You can easily grow Pumpkins yourself and then pick them straight from the vine. Alternatively, you can go to a Pumpkin farm and pick them straight from the vine, usually from about September to the end of October.
If buying from a store, look for Pumpkins with good color to them.
Important
Nothing to report.
General
As you won't be able to juice all of the Pumpkin (they are simply too big), you can freeze the rest or cook with the remaining amount.
I personally have never juiced a Pumpkin simply because of its size. However, I have added Pumpkin to the list because it is a squash. Like all squashes, Pumpkins are very nutritious and Pumpkins are also naturally sweet.
Pumpkins are very rich in nutrients and will add flavor to a juice.
