PUMPKIN

What is pumpkin?

A pumpkin is a cultivar of winter squash that is round with smooth, slightly ribbed skin, and most often deep yellow to orange in coloration. The thick shell contains the seeds and pulp.

The name is most commonly used for cultivars of Cucurbita pepo, but some cultivars of Cucurbita maximaC. argyrosperma, and C. moschata with similar appearance are also sometimes called “pumpkin”.
