Pumpkin, which is of the Squash Family, is very nutritious as it is a rich source of beta carotene, a low calorie source of Vitamin C and potassium and is high in fiber.
A real plus is the pumpkin seeds can be dried off and put on cookie sheet and slowly roasted in the oven at 250F to make a tasty snack or for lunches. The pumpkin seeds contain protein, iron,Vitamin B, Vitamin E and fiber. The pumpkin seeds, once totally roasted and cooled off, can be stored for long periods of time. Another Healthy Recipes great suggestion!
