That cozy autumn smell doesn't come from pumpkins at all! It comes from a blend of spices, and each one traveled thousands of miles to reach your fork. The warm, sweet, slightly peppery flavor we call \"pumpkin spice\" is really a team of five plants working together.  \nMeet the leader of that team: cinnamon, the spice that gives the blend  \nits sweet, woody warmth. Cinnamon isn't a seed or a leaf at all, but the inner bark of a tree that grows in warm places like Sri Lanka, an island near India. Workers peel the bark in long strips and let it dry, and the strips curl up into rolls we call cinnamon sticks. Can you imagine peeling a tree to fill your kitchen with such a wonderful smell?  \nWhile cinnamon came from one island, two more spices in the blend came from a group of islands on the other side of the world. Nutmeg and cloves once grew only in the Spice Islands of Indonesia, tiny dots of land in the ocean. Hundreds of years ago these spices were so rare in Europe that people traded them like treasure, and a small bag could be worth as much as gold. Sailors crossed dangerous seas for months just to bring a shipful home.  \nTwo more flavors round out the team, and both bring a warm, spicy kick. Ginger is the knobby underground root of a plant, and cooks have grated it into food for thousands of years. Allspice is the dried berry of a tree that grows in Jamaica, and it earned its name because people thought it tasted like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves all at once. Put all five spices together and you have the smell of fall in a single spoonful.  \nSo how did these far-traveled spices end up in a pumpkin pie? American cooks in the 1700s were already mixing these spices into their pies and cakes, long before anyone printed the words \"pumpkin spice\" on a coffee cup. Today the same blend flavors cookies, candles, cereal, and even dog treats every autumn. The next time you smell it, remember that a single sniff carries a journey across five countries and hundreds of years.  \nWhere Pumpkin Spice Comes From  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) According to the passage, where does the smell of pumpkin pie really come from?\u003Cbr>A.
