The Health Benefits of Pumpkin

Pumpkin is not only a beloved fall ingredient but also a nutritional powerhouse. It is packed with vital nutrients, making it an excellent addition to your diet. This vibrant orange vegetable is rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, and beta-carotene, which helps promote healthy skin and supports the immune system. Additionally, pumpkin is a great source of dietary fiber, aiding in digestion and promoting a healthy gut.
