Records of the squash blossom (Cucurbita pepo) being used for food in the Americas date back to the 16th century, and it seems that Native Americans used to eat only male flowers (those grown on long and slender stems) in order to allow female flowers (those with a very small squash behind them) to reproduce.
Записите за користење на цветовите од тиква (Cucurbita pepo) како храна на двата американски континента датираат уште од 16 век.
