Photo 1 and 2 is pumpkin. This vegetable is orange inside, grown in summer and stored for use in soup (the middle photo). Sometime we roast or boil it.
Grapefruit (photo 3) is a common fruit tree in the garden and Kiwis eat grapefruit for breakfast or juice the fruit or make it into mamalade. Mamalade is a kind of jam and you put it on toast.
