Not many people enjoy the taste of pumpkin. It's an acquired taste. With Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays close together, it is almost impossible to avoid hearing about pumpkin on TV or seeing it at the store.

This nutrient-rich fruit is healthy and versatile. Almost the entire melon is used. It has a high beta-carotene content and is packed with antioxidants. It can be used as decoration or as an art project. Its seeds can be roasted and enjoyed as a snack. Its pulp/flesh can be used in many other desserts such as the most popular pumpkin pie.
