Super Foods – Pumpkin

Did you know that winter pumpkin is full of fibre, magnesium, beta carotene, and vitamins C and B6?  Not to mention, eating it may help decrease your blood pressure and cholesterol and can leave your skin looking radiant all season long – we’re sold! Just one serving of butternut pumpkin has 35 percent of the recommended daily amount of Vitamin C.

But the good news doesn’t end there – they’re super easy to cook with! Simply dice, season, and roast for a flavour-packed side, enjoy halved and stuffed with wild rice, blend the roasted pumpkins to create a base for creamy soup or make a batch of baked pumpkin muffins – delicious.
