The history of pumpkin:

The history of this crop goes back tens of thousands of years. It was probably brought to Europe by the Spanish in the 1500s. It was an important protagonist in the conquests for several reasons. Not only was it used as a souvenir on voyages, but it was also used to cook with in the kitchens of ships. By the 16th century, this treasure of the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans was present in every port. Pumpkins have an extremely large family. In our country, it was the breeding of the five varieties of pumpkin that made it possible to widely distribute its extracts. The versatility of the Mexican plant has made it very popular in many parts of the world. Miklós Oláh, writing in 1536, mentions that many pumpkins were already being planted in Hungary at that time, in addition to melons. There is a long tradition of pumpkin cultivation in the Őrség region, where pumpkin festivals are organised every year with a variety of programmes and fairs.
