The star of autumn

Pumpkins are only considered as trend vegetable in Europe since several years.

Pumpkin in the history

In Middle and South America culinary pumpkins are considered as basic food of the indigenous population there since more than 10,000 years. Columbus is supposed to brought the pumpkin to Europe after the discovery of America.

In Germany pumpkins were used primarily as animal feed until the 20th century. Only in the last years the autumn classic emerged as variedly prepared vegetable and is getting more and more popular.

Varieties of pumpkin
