Many Americans celebrated Halloween on Monday by placing pumpkins outside their homes.A Halloween tradition is to cut a face into the big,round squash.
Pumpkins are also an important part of the Thanksgiving holiday in late November.Tradition says early settlers ate pumpkin pie,or something similar to it,with the Native Americans during the first celebration.
Pumpkins are members of the gourd family.They are related to melons,cucumbers and squashes.They are,like all of their relatives,fruit,not vegetables.Pumpkins have firm flesh,seeds in the center and a shell that is usually orange.And they contain more vitamin A than almost any other fruit.
Pumpkins have been grown for thousands of years in North and Central America.They have been grown for so long,in fact,it is unclear what wild relative the plant has.Pumpkins grow on vines or bushes.Most pumpkins weigh a few kilograms,but some have reached well over four hundred fifty kilograms.
Pumpkin flowers are usually fertilized by bees.The insects carry reproductive material called pollen from the male to the female flowers.No fruit will grow if the female flower is not pollinated at the right time.
Closely related squashes and gourds can also fertilize pumpkins.This cross-pollination will show itself not in the current year’s pumpkins,but in seeds grown the following year.
Pumpkin is used in pies,breads,cakes and other baked goods.Baked pumpkin seeds are also a popular food.Pumpkin filling for pies is produced industrially.
Pumpkins are very low in acid,unlike many fruits.This makes canned pumpkin a place where the bacteria that causes botulism food poisoning can grow.For this reason,experts say it is not a good idea to can crushed pumpkin at home.Whole pumpkins,however,store well in cool,dark places for weeks.

万圣节有把鬼脸雕刻在又圆又大的南瓜的传统,许多美国人把雕刻好南瓜放在屋子外面有来庆祝万圣节
南瓜在11月底的万圣节中扮演这重要的角色,传统记载早期移民第一次与原著居民就是用南瓜派或者一些类似的东西来庆祝的
南瓜属于葫芦科.南瓜就像和他有关的瓜类,黄瓜一样,是水果,不是蔬菜.南瓜有着坚实的果肉,种子和一个通常是橙色的外壳.它们含有的维他命A比大多数其他水果都多
再问： 可否继续？
再答： 在数千年前美国的中部和北部就已经在种植南瓜了，实际上，经历了长时间的培植已不能确认他是由哪种野生植物演变。南瓜是一年生蔓生草本，果实通常有几公斤，也有可以达到四五百公斤的。南瓜是需要通过蜜蜂授粉的异花传粉，如果雌花错过了授粉时机就不会结果，南瓜也可以和葫芦科的植物交叉授粉，但不会影响到当年的果实，只是来年的种子会有所不同（这句不是很明白）许多馅饼蛋糕的烘培食物都是由南瓜制成的，南瓜子也是很受欢迎的零食，南瓜馅饼也被成批量的加工 不像其他水果，南瓜含酸量低，南瓜罐头很容易滋生对人体有害的细菌。正因如此，专家建议在存储南瓜时最好是将整个放在阴凉避光的地方，而不是将它切开来存储 (水平有限，尽力了,,,,)
