Pumpkins are grown on every continent except Antarctica. The tradition of carving pumpkins on Halloween started from a scary Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack. People in Ireland and Scotland eventually started carving faces into root vegetables like turnips and beets to create jack-o-lanterns to keep evil spirits away. The original Jack-o'-lanterns were made with turnips and potatoes by the Irish.
The word "pumpkin" showed up for the first time in the fairy tale Cinderella. Over 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkin are produced each year in the United States.
