That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Pumpkins originate from North America. This is because archaeological evidence suggests that pumpkins were first cultivated in Central America around 7,500 to 5,000 BC. Native American tribes such as the Navajo and Hopi used pumpkins as a staple food source. When European explorers arrived in North America, they discovered pumpkins and brought them back to Europe. So, while pumpkins are now grown and enjoyed worldwide, their origins can be traced back to North America.
