Pumpkin is a winter fruit, which can be used in the making of many variety of curries, bakes, cakes and soups, is very rich in fiber so very good to cure constipation, loaded with Iron, magnesium, potassium, rich in Vitamin-B-12 and much more.
Whole pumpkin has a good shelf life, so can be brought and stored for a good long time. The dried seeds of pumpkin are also very good for health, as they provide a number of health benfits.so whenever you cook pumpkin, don’t throw the seeds, instead rub and wash well with enough water, and sundry the seeds and then roast them in an oven and enjoy.
