Stupid Question

I'm pretty anal about making sure my boys get a good amount of fruits AND veggies each day.

However, we just started PUMPKIN (with Pears) today & I honestly don't know what pumpkin is! Perhaps it's a stupid question....

But is Pumpkin a fruit or veggie????

PS The boys LOVED IT!

 

It's part of the squash family as far as I know so I would say vegetable.

 

This is an interesting page I found

fruit or veg

 

Hmmmm....interesting. I guess I'll label it "OTHER".

 

How did you make the pumpkin?? I'd like to try it.. but am not sure how!! I know I could look it up but just curious from a "real" person!! TIA

I just use plain canned pumpkin. One of my babies' favorite snacks is waffles spread with pumpkin! Sounds weird, but they don't know that!

I'd call it a vegetable too, since it's a squash...

 

I can't say I made it...I won't lie, I've never made a drop of my own babyfood.

Nature's Goodness sells jars of Pumpkin & Pears. I kid you not, I think they're the boys' new favorite! They LOVE IT & it smells good too!
