The pumpkin is one of the world’s oldest cultivated plants, the origin of the common pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) has been scientifically dated from 10,700 to 9,200 B.C.

The common pumpkin originated in the Southern areas of Mexico.

An important point to remember is that these early pumpkin seeds had a thick shell, similarly to the pumpkins that are still planted today in many parts of the world including United States where we have the Halloween pumpkin with the light colored, thick shelled seeds, that are hard to eat because of the shells.
