Too much sugar in veges

I was at Spar in Lichtenburg at the corner of Gerrit Maritz I decided to buy a portion of the fresh cooked pumpkin. I was dissapointed to find that the pumpkin had a ridiculous amount of sugar in it and was sickeningly sweet. A colleague also purchased the carrots only to find that they were overly salty. It's such a waste to take a healthy vegetable and make it so unhealthy for consumers when they are trying to make a healthy food choice.
