The Tropical Pumpkin originated in tropical South or Central America, possibly Peru or Mexico, and is now widely distributed throughout the tropics. Tropical pumpkins are very well adapted to hot, humid conditions and the ripe fruits can be stored for months or even a year under dry well ventilated storage conditions. The fruits are eaten in a variety of ways—raw, boiled, fried, baked, mashed, steamed, stuff, dried, or used in soups and pies. Young fruits can be pickled, and the seeds are eaten raw or roasted.
