A Little Bit About Pumpkins…
(Reference: University of Illinois, 2007)

Pumpkins originated in Central America.

Pumpkins were once recommended for removing freckles and curing snake bites.

Pumpkins range in size from less than a pound to over 1,000 pounds.

Pumpkins are members of the vine crops family called cucurbits.

The largest pumpkin ever grown weighed 1,140 pounds.

Pumpkins are used for feed for animals.

Pumpkins are 90 percent water.

Eighty percent of the pumpkin supply in the United States is available in October.

You can purchase Pumpkins
