Interesting Facts

The tradition of carving pumpkins for Halloween originated from an Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack, leading to the name 'Jack-o'-lantern'.

Pumpkins are native to North America and have been grown for thousands of years, with evidence of cultivation dating back to 7000 BCE.

The largest pumpkin ever recorded weighed 2,702 pounds (1,225.6 kg) and was grown by a farmer in Belgium in 2021.

Pumpkins are technically a fruit, not a vegetable, because they contain seeds.
