Pumpkin Facts
- Once they sprout, pumpkins take between 90 and 120 days to reach maturity.
- Every part of the pumpkin is edible, including the skin, leaves, flowers, and stem. Pumpkin and other squash blossoms can be eaten raw. They’re also particularly tasty when lightly battered and fried!
- Pumpkin pie is America’s favorite Thanksgiving dessert, with 36% of us preferring it to other traditional options like pecan, apple, or sweet potato.
- When the Pilgrims relocated to North America, they didn’t know how to cook this new-to-them gourd. So the Native Americans taught them how to cultivate and cook fresh pumpkin.
- The first Jack-o-Lanterns weren’t made from pumpkins at all. They were made from turnips! When Irish emigrants moved to America, they found pumpkins much more suitable for carving than turnips, and the modern Jack o’ Lantern was born.
- Over 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkins are grown every year in the United States.
