"Pumpkins go beyond Halloween and Thanksgiving, although they're perfect for those occasions as well." Pumpkins are a type of winter squash typically known for their round shape, vibrant orange color, and sweet flavor although they come in many other varieties, shapes, colors and sizes. Pumpkins are versatile in the kitchen, used in a variety of dishes like pies, soups, and roasted sides. They are a nutritional powerhouse, rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin A and fiber. Pumpkins are also symbolic of the fall season, often used for Halloween decorations and enjoyed at fall gatherings like Thanksgiving. Their history dates back thousands of years, with indigenous peoples in the Americas being among the first to cultivate them. Today, pumpkins remain a popular and cherished part of many cuisines and traditions worldwide.
