Ingasetshenziswa ekubhekiseni kuma-squash amaningi ahlukahlukene abukeka ehlukile futhi angenazo izinhlobo eziningi kwi-Cucurbita.
"I-Thanga" ngezinye izikhathi lisetshenziswa ngokushintshana ne"squash" noma "winter squash", futhi ivame ukusetshenziselwa ezinye izinhlobo ze-Cucurbita argyrosperma, Cucurbita ficifolia, Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbita moschata, kanye ne-Cucurbita pepo.
Amathanga e-C. pepo aphakathi kwezitshalo ezifunwayo ezindala kakhulu ezaziwayo nobufakazi bokutshalwa kwawo kusukela phakathi kuka-7000 BCE no-5500 BCE IMesoamerica. Izinhlobo zasendle ze-Cucurbita kanye nezinhlobo zokuqala ezifunwayo zivela INyakatho Melika (izingxenye zanamuhla enyakatho eMpumalanga IMexico naseningizimu ye-I-United States), kodwa izinhlobo manje zitshalwa emhlabeni wonke ngezinhloso zokupheka, zokuhlobisa, nezinye izinhloso ezikhethekile zamasiko.
Igobolondo eliwugqinsi lamagobolondo ligcwele imbewu edliwayo kanye nempuphu. Uphaya wethanga uyingxenye yendabuko yokudla kwe-Thanksgiving ICanada nase-United States futhi amathanga avame ukusetshenziswa njengemihlobiso yezikhathi zonyaka futhi aqoshwe njenge-jack-o'-lanterns yokuhlobisa nge-Halloween. I-pure yamantongomane kanye nokugcwaliswa kophaya okudayiswayo kuvame ukwenziwa ngezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zamantongomane kulezo ezihloselwe ukusetshenziswa ekuhlobiseni.[1]
