Pumpkins: More Than Just Fall Decor

When autumn rolls around, one of the most iconic symbols of the season is the humble pumpkin. From its bright orange color to its versatile uses, the pumpkin has become an important part of our fall traditions. Did you know this popular squash is botanically considered a fruit because it originates from a flower? I am sure I am not the only one who always thought it was a vegetable! Whichever you consider it to be, the pumpkin has a rich history that extends far beyond pumpkin pies and Halloween decorations.One of America’s oldest native crops, pumpkins have been cultivated for more than 6,000 years.
