The largest pumpkin pie ever baked weighed 2,020 pounds.
Pumpkin pie originated in the colonies, just not as we know it today. Colonists would cut the tops of pumpkins off, remove the seeds and fill the pumpkins with milk, spices and honey, then bake them in hot ashes
Each pumpkin has about 500 seeds.
And they take between 90 and 120 days to grow. High in iron, they can be roasted to eat. The flowers that grow on pumpkin vines are also edible
There are more than 45 different varieties of pumpkin.
They range in color like red, yellow and green, and have names like Hooligan, Cotton Candy and Orange Smoothie
