The History and Symbolism of Pumpkins: SLU Expert Cindy Ott, Ph.D.

What's the deal with pumpkins, and why is it such a popular fall flavor? Oftentimes, the taste we associate with pumpkin is not actually from the vegetable, but rather from the spices that are added. So why do people go crazy over pumpkin? Saint Louis University American studies professor Cindy Ott, Ph.D., says it is because of the reverence for old times that are associated with pumpkins. Even today, the majority of the country's pumpkins are grown on small family farms, and she says people have an inherent attraction to this way of life that so many families left during the industrial revolution.
