🎃 Pumpkins have been popular in many places and at different times, including:
Central America
Pumpkins were first cultivated in Central America over 7,500 years ago. They were an important food source for indigenous people.
Europe
Pumpkins were introduced to Europe in the 16th century by the French. They became popular in English cuisine and were used in soups, pies, and preserves.
North America
Indigenous Americans cultivated pumpkins for thousands of years. English colonists arrived in the 17th century and began using pumpkins as a food staple.
United States
The earliest Pilgrims invented pumpkin pie, which was a variation of baked pumpkins. Pumpkin pie season was announced in print in the late 1800s and continued to be newsworthy into the 20th century.
Halloween
Pumpkins became associated with Halloween because of their long history of being associated with wild nature. The Jack-O'-Lantern is a tradition from the old Celtic tradition of Halloween.
Pumpkins are a member of the gourd family, which also includes cucumbers, honeydew melons, cantaloupe, watermelons, and zucchini. They are now grown on six continents, all but Antarctica.
