Orange JewelsAutumn Pumpkins For Your Diet
Hey, Pumkin! Want to add something to your diet that is low in calories, filling, healthy, tasty and yes...pretty? Oh my - are you in luck! Fall pumpkins are arriving by the truckload. Orange you Diet Glad about that? Giant PumpkinsHow big is a pumpkin? Record holders include a pumpkin with a 14-foot circumference with a growth rate of 10 inches per day - frequently reaching 800 pounds! In 1996, there was a big boy who weighed in at 1,061 pounds (481 kg) - can you imagine? Eat your heart out Via!
However, in this case size is little more than proud beauty. The meat of this type pumpkin tends to be tough, tasteless and watery - so these big boys are definitely not the variety that you'd want to purchase for cooking purposes. Besides, you'd need a flatbed semi to get one home. And once you'd gutted the pumpkin, what would you do with that big shell?
Hum....the word mother-in-law just popped to mind for some strange reason... Oh well - back to our pumpkins. History of PumpkinsIn caves located in northeastern Mexico, pumpkin seeds have been found that are estimated to date back to 7,000 B.C. (and probably taste rancid now).
In 1623, the Pilgrims are documented as serving pumpkin pie at the second Thanksgiving. (Rumor has it that it was a recipe by Lady Sara Lee. Rumor also has it that the following year, Lady Sara Lee got into a bake-off with Lady Crocker and Lady Smith which was so hot that it's actually what kicked off the witch hunts.)
The pumpkin was also very popular for medicinal use. (Rumor has it that Sir Daniels came up with a zippy Pumpkin Whiskey for just that.)
