The pumpkin is celebrated for its various sizes and vibrant colour. It's round shape and distinct ridges make it an ideal decoration for fall, often used in jack-o'-lanterns and centrepieces.

Additionally, pumpkins are known for their culinary versatility. The flesh can be sweet or savoury, making it an excellent ingredient for pies, soups, stews, and baked goods. When roasted or pureed, pumpkins provide a creamy texture that enhances both savoury and sweet dishes.
