Cucurbita Moschata
''Cucurbita moschata'' is a species originating in either Central America or northern South America. It includes cultivars known as squash or pumpkin. ''C. moschata'' cultivars are generally more tolerant of hot, humid weather than cultivars of '' C. maxima'' or '' C. pepo''. They also generally display a greater resistance to disease and insects, especially to the squash vine borer. Commercially made pumpkin pie mix is most often made from varieties of ''C. moschata''. The ancestral species of the genus ''Cucurbita'' were present in the Americas before the arrival of humans. Evolutionarily speaking the genus is relatively recent in origin as no species within the genus is genetically isolated from all the other species. ''C. moschata'' acts as the genetic bridge within the genus and is closest to the genus' progenitor. All species of squashes and pumpkins are native to the Western Hemisphere.Victor E.

It is closely related, but not identical, to the marrow; its fruit may be called ''marrow'' when mature. Ordinary zucchini fruit are any shade of green, though the golden zucchini is a deep yellow or orange. At maturity, they can grow to nearly in length, but they are normally harvested at about .

Jorim
''Jorim'' () is a simmered Korean dish, made by boiling vegetables, meat, fish, seafood, or tofu in seasoned broth until the liquid is absorbed into the ingredients and reduced down. ''Jorim'' dishes are usually soy sauce-based, but gochujang (고추장, chili paste) or ''gochutgaru'' (고춧가루, chili powder) can also be added, especially when fishier, red-fleshed fish such as mackerel, saury, or hairtail are used.
