And… just for fun… I looked up a few facts about pumpkins:

  • Pumpkins are actually a squash and can sometimes be yellow, white, green or red.
  • Pumpkins are grown all over the world on six of the seven continents with Antarctica being the only exception.
  • They are a fruit and their flowers are edible and they are 90% water.
  • Pumpkins were once recommended for removing freckles and curing snake bites, along with other medicinal uses.
  • The name pumpkin comes from the Greek word “pepon” which means “large melon“.
  • The largest pumpkin pie ever made was over five feet in diameter and weighed over 350 pounds. It used 80 pounds of cooked pumpkin, 36 pounds of sugar, 12 dozen eggs and took six hours to bake.
  • 100 grams of pumpkin produces around 26 calories of energy.
  • In the early days, Colonists sliced off pumpkin tips; removed the seeds and filled the insides with milk, spices and honey. This was then baked in hot ashes and is the origin of the pumpkin pie.
