Introduced to India centuries ago, pumpkins have since become a staple in home gardens and kitchens, valued for their adaptability, nutrition, and long storage life.

Recognizable by their round shape, hard skin, and vibrant orange to green hues, pumpkins offer a mildly sweet, earthy flavor that makes them versatile in cooking. From curries, dals, and stews to festive sweets like halwa and pies, pumpkins blend seamlessly into both savory and sweet dishes.
