Jain drishti se:

1. Kaddu (pumpkin) aam taur par Jain khaadya mein allowed hai.

- Ye root (kand-mool) nahi hai, zameen ke upar ugne wali sabzi hai. - Isliye isse khaane se jad ko ukhaadne wali hinsa nahi hoti.

1. Kab dhyaan rakhna hai:

- Chaumasa / Paryushan jaisi tithiyon par kuch parivaar sabziyan bhi kam kar dete hain, sirf simple anaj–dal ka bhojan rakhte hain. Wahan aapko apne guru / parivaar ki maryada follow karni chahiye. - Hamesha dhyaan rahe: - Din ke time hi bhojan - Usi din bana hua taaza bhojan - Paani ubal kar / chhanni se nikal kar

1. Digambar–Shwetambar dono mein aam dinon mein kaddu ko lehenga/gourd type ki sabziyon ki tarah saamanya roop se sevankari mana jata hai, jab tak koi vishesh vrat ki maryada rok na lagaye.

Chaumasa mein kaun‑kaun si sabziyan aam taur par li ja sakti hain, uska ek saral list yahan mil sakta hai
