Squash (Cucurbita pepo) is a plant originating from North America (Mexico), grown in Poland. Pumpkin flesh (pulp cucurbitae) and pumpkin seeds (Semen cucurbitae recens) are used as a source of food. The pulp is a rich source of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. Acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, oleic acid), and phytosterols, vitamins (pro-vitamin A, B1, B2, C, E, PP), minerals (cobalt, magnesium, copper, potassium, calcium , iron), sugars and protein and fibre. Fresh seeds contain approx. 50% oil, phytosterols, phytates, cucurbitacins, triterpenes, peponozyd and vitamins and minerals.
