They Come In Many Colors

These fruits come in a wide number of shapes, colors, and sizes. It’s really impressive how many different pumpkins you can see. Everyone relates the color orange to a pumpkin, but it is available in yellow, dark green, blue, cream, and so on. Shapes and sizes vary too. They can be huge and round, long like cucumbers, shaped like pears and more. The sizes range from super small, to humongous.

Originally the bread was thought of as a peasant’s food but now it is found and celebrated around the world in many different dishes. The bread is best known for its sweet taste and coffee-like flavoring. The appearance of pumpernickel is really what makes it stand out. There is no crust and the bread, because of a chemical reaction that happens during the baking process, is a dark brown color. Because the bread has such a strong flavor it is used less commonly but can really amp up a homemade sandwich!
