What is a "pumpkin"?
A pumpkin is a large, round or oval-shaped vegetable with a thick, orange or yellow skin and stringy pulp inside. It is commonly associated with autumn and Halloween decorations, as well as Thanksgiving dishes. Pumpkins are versatile and can be used in both sweet and savory recipes. They can be roasted, boiled, steamed, or pureed, and used to make soups, pies, bread, muffins, and other baked goods. Pumpkin seeds can also be roasted and eaten as a snack. Pumpkins are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin A and vitamin C, as well as fiber and antioxidants.
