PUMPKIN IS PACKED with fiber, vitamins C and E, iron, potassium, and beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A that gives pumpkin its orange color. With this super concentration of nutrients, pumpkin can help you maintain your weight, support your immune system, and protect your skin and eyesight. MULTIPURPOSE PLANT Pumpkin is a versatile culinary staple. You can create pumpkin pies and baked goods or use pumpkin in ravioli, soup, dips, and casseroles. Roasting pumpkin seeds also provides a delicious protein- and zinc-filled snack. Just watch your portion sizes—a quarter cup of pumpkin seeds contains 180 calories. Low in fat and calories, pumpkin makes a great substitute for butter and oil in baking recipes. Simply multiply the amount of butter your recipe calls for by three-fourths to find the amount of fresh or canned pumpkin puree you should use in its place. "Many times, people focus on carving pumpkins and forget that pumpkin is also really healthy," says Heather Krieger, Registered Dietitian at HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital. "Incorporating pumpkin into recipes gives your plate a nutritious boost of color and allows your family to try new things." Ready for more healthy recipe suggestions?
