It can also be fried and eaten. Some pumpkins are sweet. Suitable for porridge.

Tender pumpkin for dumpling filling.

We call zucchini pumpkin here, Shanxi, we have always called it pumpkin, and later learned that the scientific name is zucchini, and many places do not have this name

In our hometown, there is a northern (pronunciation: be-4 sound) melon, which is actually a pumpkin, and it is not clear why it is called so.

Some. It tastes similar to pumpkin, and looks very similar, orange. But there is a small white belly underneath.

There are so many melons in life, there are winter melons, watermelons, pumpkins, so naturally there are also pumpkins, but they are not often called.

Pumpkin has a different name. In life, people often call the pumpkin as bamboo shoots, jade melons or Indian pumpkins. Bamboo shoots first originated in South America, belonging to the Cucurbitaceae pumpkin genus, some scholars believe that it was introduced from India in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so it is called Indian pumpkin.

The reason why it is called northern melon is because in the 20th year of Jiajing, the bamboo shoot melon planting area was in Beijing and the northern region. Bamboo shoots are not only cheap, but also delicious and fresh, and rich in vitamin A, which is great for our eyes. But bamboo shoots and zucchini look very similar, and many people can't tell the difference The stem of the bamboo shoot melon is round, while the stem of zucchini has obvious edges and corners, which is easy to distinguish.

There is also a legend about bamboo shoots. According to legend, when Tang Taizong returned to his soul, he promised to send some melons and fruits to Lord Yama, so he posted a notice. As a result, someone unveiled the notice, and Tang Taizong ordered this person to give a pumpkin on his head to Lord Yan, and this pumpkin is a pumpkin, so people basically don't call it a pumpkin, usually called a bamboo shoot.

So, is the naming of winter melon (east melon), pumpkin, and watermelon really related to the direction? Not exactly. The reason why winter melon is called winter melon is because when it is ripe, the skin will have a layer of white powder, like the frost in winter, so it is called winter melon.

However, winter melons are not melons that are eaten in winter, and are mostly picked and eaten in summer. Pumpkin was introduced from South America to Guangdong, Fujian and other places in the Ming Dynasty, and then in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, pumpkins began to be slowly transplanted to the north, and many people realized that this kind of melon came from the south, so it was called pumpkin. Watermelon, as the name suggests, is a melon from the west, the origin is Africa, people generally believe that watermelon was introduced to China from the Western Regions in the fourth or fifth centuries, but there are also doubts about this statement, five generations ago, watermelon was called cold melon.

Because the pumpkin is not famous, everyone just doesn't know it. Legend has it that there is still a vegetable like pumpkin in daily life.

It's not that there is no pumpkin, zucchini has been known as pumpkin in history. But because the name zucchini is gradually becoming known. The name of the pumpkin has gradually been forgotten.

Because in the past, winter melon, watermelon, pumpkin and pumpkin played hide and seek together, and later when it was the turn of the pumpkin to find someone, the three of them secretly went home, and the pumpkin kept looking for it.

Pumpkin, scientific name zucchini. Zucchini is native to southern North America, and China began to introduce and cultivate it from Europe in the middle of the 19th century, and it is distributed all over the world, with Europe and the Americas being the most common. It is cultivated all over China.

Zucchini is a species of pumpkin, but its appearance collides with that of winter melon. The reason why it was originally called pumpkin is said to have been introduced into China at that time, in order to make the people accept it well, they painted the gourd in the same way, took the name of the pumpkin, and made up the southeast and northwest of the melon world.

There are pumpkins, we have pumpkins in the north, the pumpkin soup is the most delicious, sweet and noodles, and we also have a special pumpkin soup to drink.
