호박 (Pumpkin) is a type of squash that belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family. It is typically round and orange, although it can also be found in other colors like green and yellow. Pumpkins are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin A, and are often used in cooking and baking, especially in dishes like pumpkin pie. In addition to culinary uses, pumpkins are popular in Halloween traditions, where they are carved into jack-o'-lanterns. They are also grown for their seeds, known as pepitas, which are nutritious and can be eaten as a snack. Pumpkins are cultivated in many parts of the world, especially in North America.
