Pumpkin is a vegetable belonging to the cucurbitaceae family, just like cucumber, melon, and watermelon. This plant is native to Central and South America, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years. Indigenous peoples of these regions used it as a sacred food and used it in both their diet and religious ceremonies. Over the centuries, the pumpkin has spread throughout the world, becoming a staple food in many cultures. There are hundreds of pumpkin varieties, each with different shapes, colors, and flavors.
The most common varieties include winter squash, summer squash, butternut squash, and acorn squash.
