About Pumpkin, raw
Pumpkin is the big, round, orange-fleshed winter squash that's as much a symbol of autumn as an ingredient. Beyond carving, its sweet, mild flesh is roasted, puréed into soups and pies, and simmered into curries — the smaller 'sugar' pumpkins being far better for eating than the giant carving kind.
That orange color signals a huge amount of beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A — pumpkin is one of the very richest food sources of it. All that on a base that's low in calories, with vitamin C, potassium and fiber. The seeds, too, are a nutritious snack in their own right.
Naturally sweet, comforting and genuinely nutrient-dense, pumpkin is a vegetable that earns far more than its seasonal moment in the spotlight.
