Pumpkins Cross the Ocean 🌊🎃

When European settlers came to the Americas, pumpkins were everywhere — hearty, filling, and already grown for thousands of years by Indigenous farmers. Seeds made their way back across the Atlantic, but in Europe pumpkins were dismissed as rustic “poor man’s food.” Not everyone agreed, though. In 1670, English author Hannah Woolley published one of the first pumpkin pie recipes, showing that even then people were starting to see pumpkins as more than just survival food.
