Halloween

Glossary

Halloween is a custom observed on October 31 that originally stems from Celtic and Irish traditions and is today celebrated worldwide as a festival with pumpkins, costumes, and sweets.

In the context of Styrian pumpkin seed oil: Halloween and the Styrian oil pumpkin have little in common, since the typical Halloween pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima or C. pepo) is a different variety from the oil pumpkin. Nevertheless, the worldwide enthusiasm for pumpkins has also raised awareness of Austrian pumpkin products.
