Fun Pumpkin Facts
The name "pumpkin" comes from the word "pepon", Greek for "large melon".
The flowers on the vine can be either male or female. Bees take care of pollinating them.
Pumpkin pie is made during the fall, as part of the autumn harvest celebrations of Halloween & Thanksgiving.
Pumpkins are gourds, in the same family as butternut squash, zucchini & cucumbers.
Pumpkins, native to North America, have been grown here for over 5000 years.
Pumpkins are low in calories, fat & sodium and high in Vitamins A & B, potassium, protein & iron.
In October 2014, John Hawkley took the championship for the heaviest pumpkin (pictured above) weighing in at 2,058 pounds! Wowzers!
The making of "Jack-O-Lanterns" originated in Ireland. They used root veggies like beets & turnips to carve faces for Halloween. Upon coming to America, they began making "Jack-O-Lanterns" out of pumpkins.
