About Pumpkin

Pumpkin, a nutrient-rich squash native to North and Central America, is a versatile ingredient in cuisines worldwide. Packed with vitamins A and C, it supports immune function and promotes healthy skin and eyesight. Pumpkin also provides fiber, aiding digestion and contributing to feelings of fullness, making it a great choice for weight management. Its mild, sweet flavor complements both savory dishes, like soups and stews, and desserts, such as pies and muffins. Low in calories and fat, pumpkin is heart-friendly, but recipes incorporating added sugars or high-fat ingredients may diminish its health benefits. The seeds, rich in magnesium, zinc, and healthy fats, offer a nutritious snack or garnish. Pumpkin’s vibrant orange hue comes from beta carotene, an antioxidant linked to reduced risk of chronic diseases. Widely celebrated in autumn-themed dishes, it remains a nutritional powerhouse enjoyed year-round.
