Pumpkin 1 article
Pumpkin belongs to the winter squash group, with a hard rind, orange flesh, and a central cavity containing edible seeds. Culinary pumpkins are roasted in cubes, blended into soup, or cooked into puree for pies and other dishes; canned plain pumpkin puree is a common shelf-stable form. Carving pumpkins and eating varieties may differ in texture and flavor. The puree should be distinguished from prepared pumpkin pie filling, which may already contain sweeteners and spices.
