Grade: Big, Small

A pumpkin is a large, round fruit that belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, which also includes squash, cucumbers, and melons. Pumpkins typically have a hard, smooth outer skin that can be various shades of orange, yellow, or green. Inside, they are filled with stringy pulp and seeds, which are often removed before cooking or carving. Pumpkins are a popular ingredient in many dishes, such as pies, soups, and roasted dishes, especially during the fall season. They are also commonly used as decorative items during Halloween and Thanksgiving, often carved into jack-o'-lanterns or used as centerpieces.
