Positive effects on the immune system,

cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Pumpkin Description.

The pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family. It has a robust, climbing or sprawling stem, cylindrical or ribbed in shape, with strong tendrils. The large leaves are characterized by a thin fuzz.

In addition to the fruit, which is either elongated or round, the flesh is orange, rich in nutrients and therapeutic properties (it is diuretic, soothing, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and suitable for people with diabetes). The seeds are also appreciated in cooking, being highly protein-rich and beneficial for both male and female urinary systems.

Due to its short cultivation cycle and the seed’s sensitivity to certain fungal and bacterial diseases, special attention is needed when choosing the seed.
The same care is applied during sowing— the large seed is placed in the soil imprint horizontally to avoid abnormal root development — and in selecting the quality and quantity of covering materials.

Owner, Luty Jacek Sp.zo.o.Sp.k.
Our company has been a client of Vivai Bacchetto for many years, and this collaboration has continued over time because the service has always been highly efficient, punctual, and of excellent quality. For us horticulturists and agronomists, who are highly dependent on variables such as climatic conditions and market demands, it is very important to be able to count on a partner who can adequately satisfy even “last minute” needs. Vivai Bacchetto’s professionalism is simply impeccable.

I have been purchasing from Vivai Bacchetto for some time. The company has grown a lot since I first met it and has managed to maintain an “almost family” identity. The quality of the plants is good and consistent and the service is fast and attentive to the needs of my company. Reliable company and people.
