Pumpkins are not just Halloween decorations, but are a tasty and versatile vegetable. 🫶 They're cheap, nutritious, delicious, grow abundantly in the UK and can be cooked in lots of different ways. 🥧🍲🍪 Here’s our quick guide to cooking with pumpkin. foodsavvy.org.uk/eat-your-pumpk…

@welshbird1971 @MilleD @Tesco @TheAnfieldWrap That’s a really valid concern, affordability plays a big part in sustainable choices. WRAP continues to work with supermarkets and manufacturers to help reduce this gap and make it easier for people to buy what they need without added cost

@MilleD @Tesco @TheAnfieldWrap @LFHW_UK Loose broccoli costs £2.19 per kg. Labelling too small. 1 broccoli cost me 59p today. Nothing to do with clubcard. Larger labels please for customers who have to use reading glasses because lettering is too small. Label on the right is a lot easier to read.

@Tesco @TheAnfieldWrap consumers are told to buy loose but why should we when the difference in prices are this high. So stop dictating to us @LFHW_UK & preach to the supermarkets instead

@WiserBite Big thanks for sharing! 👏

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, we completely understand your frustration. Cost is a really important factor for many people and that’s why WRAP works closely with retailers and brands to make sustainable choices more accessible and affordable. It’s a shared effort across the whole supply chain, not just consumers. 💚

It’s spooky season 👻 You can use all of your pumpkin, even the pumpkin leftovers from your jack-o-lantern, just add the stringy innards and outer shell of the pumpkin to your food waste bin orlo.uk/fWDYJ #GreenerEnfield #LoveFoodHateWaste @WRAP_UK

@EnfieldCouncil @WRAP_UK Thanks so much for sharing! 🎃 Every pumpkin rescued from the bin makes a big difference👻💚
