Here's everything you need to know about pumpkins every day!
We'll start with fun fact number 1: the pumpkin is not a vegetable

Although we mainly use pumpkins for savory dishes, such as purees, side dishes or soups, pumpkins are not vegetables at all, but belong to the fruit.
More precisely to the
shell berries
.
This is how berries are called in botany, which have a hard outer shell and firmly enclose their seeds.
The watermelon also belongs to the tank berries.
Be it berries, vegetables or fruit - one thing is certain: pumpkins cut a fine figure in both salty and sweet dishes.
So why is this fact interesting?
We never claimed to be interesting, but curious and entertaining 😅.
