Thank you so much for giving me a comprehensive answer. It's quite large and round - bigger than a football and its orange (like a pumpkin). I suspect that from what you've written it may have been harvested too early. I'm going to cook with it this afternoon and you've helped so much with more idea...

Sorry for the delay. I make the bread by hand. I thought the supermarkets must add something / or use a different flour - but i just wondered if anybody had any thoughts about it.
