Winter Veggies – Pumpkins

In South East Queensland where winters are typically mild and dry, pumpkins offer a reliable and rewarding vegetable option. Their ability to thrive in the subtropical climate, combined with their excellent storage capacity and nutritional value, makes pumpkins an ideal winter food source.

Pumpkin is rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and fibre, supporting immune health during the cold and flu season. Its natural sweetness and creamy texture also make it a versatile base for warming winter meals—soups, bakes, curries, and roasts.
