Announcing event ~Lets cook with Pumpkin

The name pumpkin comes from the Greek word ‘pepon’, meaning ‘large melon’.They are a member of the Cucurbita family which includes squash and cucumbers. Pumpkins are round, with smooth, slightly ribbed skin and deep yellow to orange coloration and they have thick shells which contain pulp and seeds. Pumpkins are usually orange but can sometimes be yellow, white, green or red. Pumpkins contain potassium and Vitamin A and have flowers that are edible. They are very versatile in their uses for cooking. Most parts of the pumpkin are edible, including the fleshy shell, the seeds, the leaves, and even the flowers. When ripe, the pumpkin can be boiled, baked, steamed, or roasted. Pumpkins have thick shells which contain pulp and seeds.
