Pumpkins – Eat them!

Pumpkins – Eat them!

 

24 Oct 2019

Pumpkins are loaded in potassium, vitamin A, and iron.  So don’t think of them only for making jack-o-lanterns.  You can make pumpkin soup, pumpkin bread, and sliced pumpkin chips by baking thin slices in the oven.  If you make pumpkin pie, use fresh pumpkin instead of canned, which has too much added sugar and salt.  Pumpkin seeds are easy to roast and have high levels of magnesium, which lowers blood sugar.  Research has shown that eating any part of a pumpkin is helpful to people struggling with Type II diabetes.
