With its bright orange color, it is easy to tell that pumpkin is a healthy food.
Pumpkin is loaded with vitamin A and antioxidant carotenoids, especially alpha and beta-carotenes.
It is a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins C, K, and E, and lots of minerals, such as iron, magnesium and potassium.
To make it even better, pumpkin is low in saturated fat, and very low in cholesterol and sodium.
A homemade pumpkin pie makes the perfect traditional dessert for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
