What's the ratio of a pumpkin's circumference to its diameter?

Here at the Juice Box, we're excited for the fall season. We love the falling leaves and the crisp air. Halloween and Thanksgiving are just around the corner, and the new year isn't too far away. But recently we've had our eyes on a particular oblong squash whose name conjures up images of autumnal bliss - the pumpkin. We're working night and day to incorporate this delectable treat into a variety of home-made recipes that will be sure to please your palate (We're so focused, in fact, that one of our Juice Boxers discovered the ratio of a pumpkin's circumference to its diameter is pumpkin pi).

Our pumpkins may not be displayed on our patio or in the lobby, donning spooky faces and ghoulish countenances. Instead, we serve them directly to you. Pumpkin is the MVP behind our vegan/gluten-free pumpkin bars, our root vegetable soup, and our vegan pumpkin spice hot chocolate. Not only do these new menu items taste divine, they are also jam-packed full of nutrients. The prominent orange hue reveals the multitude of carotenoids within the pumpkin. These powerful antioxidants defend the body against free radicals that promote skin damage and aging. Other antioxidants, notably lutein and zeaxanthin, support supreme eye health by scavenging free radicals in the lens of the eye, reducing the formation of cataracts and macular degeneration. Pumpkin is truly an all star when it comes to your health and vitality.

There's nothing scary about our pumpkins at the Juice Box, unless you fear eating the best food ever!
