Topic: Happy National Pumpkin Pie Day!

Description: It’s National Pumpkin Day today and what better way to celebrate it than to bake a pumpkin pie on Christmas! Have you ever tasted a pumpkin or a pumpkin pie? Did you know that the word “pumpkin” comes from the Greek word “pepon,” meaning “large melon”?

Pumpkins can be grown on every continent except Antarctica, and the United States produces about 1.5 billion pounds of them each year.

Do you know how what a pumpkin pie consists of? It’s made of a pumpkin-based custard, ranging in color from orange to brown, baked in a single pie shell, rarely with a top crust. The pie is generally flavored with nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger.
