The History of Pumpkins
Pumpkins have been around for hundreds of years. Native to Central America, they were first used by Native Americans as a food source and for medicinal purposes. When European settlers arrived, they, too, began using pumpkins in their cooking and baking. Since then, they can be found in most corners of the world.
