The word pumpkin originates from the word pepon, which is Greek for large melon. The French adapted this word to pompon, which the British changed to pumpion and later American colonists changed that to the word we use today, pumpkin.
The origin of pumpkins is not definitively known, although they are thought to have originated in North America. The oldest evidence, pumpkin related seeds dating between 7000 and 5500 B.C., were found in Mexico.
Pumpkins are a squash like fruit.
Since some squash share the same botanical classifications as pumpkins, the names are frequently used interchangeably. In general, pumpkins have stems that are more rigid, pricklier, and squarer than squash stems, which are generally softer, more rounded, and more flared where joined to the fruit.
Pumpkins generally weigh 9–18 lbs capable of reaching a weight of over 75 lbs or 34 kg. The pumpkin varies greatly in shape, ranging from oblate through oblong. The rind is smooth and usually lightly ribbed. Although pumpkins are usually orange or yellow, some fruits are dark green, pale green, orange yellow, white, red and gray.
Pumpkins are monoecious, having both male and female flowers on the same plant. The female flower is distinguished by the small ovary at the base of the petals. These bright and colorful flowers have extremely short life spans and may only open for as short a time as one day.
The color of pumpkins is derived from the orange pigments abundant in them. The main nutrients are lutein, and both alpha and beta carotene, the latter of which generates vitamin A in the body.
