Pumpkins For Carving or Cooking

Pumpkin is a
fruit high in fiber, potassium and vitamin A, with only 30 calories per cup. The
creamy texture and mild natural sweetness is very satisfying. The seeds, also
known as pepitas, offer nutritional values including zinc, manganese, iron and tryptophan
along with an addictively buttery flavor.
Whether you
are using pumpkins for carving or cooking you can’t go wrong. It’s delightful
to see pumpkins carved with funny faces and lit with candles or a bulb. The smell of pumpkin pie baking or the smell of your favorite pumpkin drink is soothing and relaxing. So enjoy pumpkin this fall season.
