What Do You Call A Fat Pumpkin?
A plumpkin! Did you know that the word “plumpkin” initially appeared in Cinderella’s fairy tale? Wild stuff, right? In fact, a French traveler named the North American native “gros melons” in 1584. Later it was translated into English as “pompions.” It wasn’t until the 17th century that they got the name pumpkins. Plumpkins are grown throughout the world, except for the cold continent of Antarctica.
Antarctica is an icy wasteland 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Also, Plumpkin is high in vitamins and minerals, but it’s 94 percent water. It’s also low in calories. There’s a lot of beta-carotene in pumpkins. Carotenoid helps your body convert vitamin A. Plumpkin seeds are also edible, nutritious, and linked to several health benefits.
