The Pumpkin

A Pumpkin is a gourd-like squash of the genus Curcurbita and the family
Cucurbitaceae, which also includes gourds. They typically have a thick,
orange or yellow shell, creased from the stem to the bottom, containing
the seeds and pulp. Pumpkins are widely grown for commercial use, and are
used both in food and recreation. Pumpkin pie, for instance, is a traditional
part of Thanksgiving meals in the United States, and Pumpkins are frequently
carved as decorations around Halloween. A Pumpkin that has a little face
carved in it and hollowed out and decorated with candles inside is known as
a Jack-O-Lantern; these are often used at Halloween, for example, to decorate
windows. In Australian English, the name "Pumpkin" generally refers to the
broader category called Winter Squash in North America.
The word Pumpkin originates from the word Pepon, which is Greek for "large
melon". The origin of Pumpkins is not definately known, although they are
thought to have originated in North America. The oldest evidence, pumpkin-related
seeds dating between 7000 and 5500 BC, were found in Mexico. Pumpkins are
squash-like fruit that range in size from less than 1 pound to over 1,000 pounds.
Since some squash share the same botanical classifications as Pumpkins, the
names are frequently used interchangeably. In general, Pumpkin stems are more
rigid, prickly and angular than squash stems, which are generally softer, more
rounded and more flared where joined to the fruit. Pumpkins generally weigh
9-18 pounds with the largest capable of reaching a weight of over 75 pounds.
The Pumpkin varies greatly in shape ranging from oblate to oblong. The rind is
smooth and usually light ribbed. Although Pumpkins are usually orange or yellow,
some fruits are dark green, pale green, orange yellow, white, red and gray.
Pumpkins are grown all around the world for a variety of reasons ranging from
agricultural purposes, such as animal feed, to commercial and ornamental sales.
Of the seven continents, only Antarctica is unable to produce pumpkins; the
biggest international producers of Pumpkins include the United States, Canada,
Mexico, India and China. The traditional American Pumpkin is the Connecticut
Field Variety.
