*** About Pumpkins: Pumpkins, a symbol of harvest and seasonal change, are integral to various fall celebrations, especially Halloween and Thanksgiving. Native to North America, pumpkins are not only used for decoration but are also a staple in holiday dishes, most notably pies. These versatile gourds belong to the Cucurbitaceae family, which also includes cucumbers and melons. Pumpkins come in various colors, shapes, and sizes, and are cherished for their ability to be carved, painted, and transformed into art. Their thick shell contains seeds and pulp, both of which are edible and highly nutritious, offering benefits like vitamin A, fiber, and antioxidants, which are essential for good health.
