Pictured here are kabocha, or Japanese pumpkins.  As can be seen, they differ a great deal from the pumpkins Americans put out for Halloween.  They are a very nutritious vegetable used in numerous Japanese dishes, including soups but also eaten on their own.  These kabocha were grown in Fukushima.  They did not have noticeable levels of radiation.

Question/Activity:  Using the web, find the nutritional content of kabocha.  What would be equivalent vegetables that are widely used in other cuisines?
