The orange filling is soft and sweet, but on its own it tastes like plain squash. The scent that says \"autumn\" is really a team of five spices working together: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice. So where did this tiny team travel from to reach your plate?  \nFollow your nose first to cinnamon, which begins its life not as a seed or a berry but as bark. Workers on the island of Sri Lanka, off the coast of India, peel the inner bark from a certain tree, and as it dries it curls into the little brown scrolls we call cinnamon sticks. Ginger has a very different story, because it is the knobby underground stem of a leafy plant, and people have grown it in Asia for thousands of years. One plant grows on a tree and one grows in the dirt, yet both end up crushed into the very same jar of spice.  \nTwo more members of the team once came almost entirely from a scattering of tiny islands in Indonesia known as the Spice Islands. Nutmeg is the hard seed inside a fruit that looks a bit like an apricot, and cloves are actually flower buds picked before they bloom and then dried until they turn dark and hard as little nails. For hundreds of years these islands were the only place on Earth where nutmeg and cloves grew, which made them worth a small fortune. Sailors crossed whole oceans for them, because a handful of these spices could once be traded for gold or land.  \nBecause these flavors were once so precious, they became a way to show off, which brings us to the fifth spice and a pie. Allspice comes from a berry that grows in Jamaica, and it earned its name because people thought it tasted like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves all rolled into one. When cooks in early America wanted to make their pumpkin pies special for autumn feasts, they reached for exactly these treasured spices. Little by little, that blend became so tied to fall that companies began selling it already mixed in a single jar.  \nOnce the mixture had a name, it did not want to stay inside a pie. Today that same warm blend is stirred into coffee drinks, cookies, cereal, candles, and even dog treats sold every autumn. The funny part is that most of these products contain no pumpkin at all, only the spices that once traveled across the world beside it. So the next time you smell\"pumpkin\" in October, remember you are really smelling a journey from Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Jamaica, folded neatly into one cozy scent.  \nWhere Pumpkin Spice Comes From  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the main idea the whole passage is built around?\u003Cbr>A.
