The Great Pumpkin
Pumpkins are fruits. .
The largest pumpkin pie ever baked was in 2003 and weighed 418 pounds.
Pumpkins have been grown in North America for five thousand years. They are indigenous to the western hemisphere.
In 1584, after French explorer Jacques Cartier explored the St. Lawrence region of North America, he reported finding “gros melons.” The name was translated into English as “pompions,” which has since evolved into the modern “pumpkin.”
Pumpkins are low in calories, fat, and sodium and high in fiber. They are good sources of vitamin A, B, potassium, protein, and iron.
The largest pumpkin ever grown was 1,337 pounds.
