What products are pumpkins used in?

Answer 1

People use pumpkins for Halloween and cooking. The parts of the pumpkins that are used for cooking are the seeds and the skin. Seeds can be fried in oil with salt and skins are used for stuff like pie.

Cut up and bake (or boil) the pumpkin immediately on Halloween night after your trick-or-treaters have stopped coming and you turn out the porch lights (to assure freshness). Baking does not require cutting off the skin, but it helps if boiling. After the meat of the pumpkin is tender, it can be food processed and used in pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup, pumpkin butter and as one would use a winter squash (as a vegetable).

The seeds can be cleaned, placed on a baking sheet, salted and baked. They make a great snack but you need to remove the shell to eat it.
