PUMPKIN: The name pumpkin originated from the Greek word for "large melon" which is "pepon." Pumpkins are grown all around the world for a variety of reasons ranging from agricultural purposes to commercial and ornamental sales. Pumpkins are very versatile in their uses for cooking, from the fleshy shell, to the seeds, to even the flowers; most parts of the pumpkin are edible. Traditionally, pumpkin is a very popular Halloween and Thanksgiving staple.
Jack O'Lantern Pumpkin: A great pumpkin for carving, Jack O Lantern was actually bred to be the size of a human head so it makes the perfect prop for carving scary faces for Halloween. It is also a wonderful cooking pumpkin for making soups, muffins, casseroles, pies, and many other nutritious dishes. The 10 tall and 10 wide, 10-18 pound pumpkins grow on 8 sprawling vines, and the mature fruit can be stored for months when kept cool and dry.
