Millions of Halloween pumpkins are thrown away every year (Credit: Mk2010/ CC-BY-SA-2.0/ Wikipedia.org)

Every fall, Americans buy tens of millions of pumpkins for Halloween. Some are transformed into jack-o'-lanterns, while others are left whole for display. Sadly, interest in these festive gourds fades quickly once the holiday ends. Experts estimate that 80 percent of the over 1.3 billion pounds (5.8 billion kg) of pumpkins purchased every year end up in the trash.

    Pumpkin seeds warm out of the oven, with cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on top, DELICIOUS!
