Pumpkin is a vibrant orange, nutrient-rich vegetable with a sweet, mildly earthy flavor. It can be used in both savory and sweet dishes, from soups and curries to pies and baked goods. The flesh is soft and tender when cooked, while the seeds are edible and can be roasted. Pumpkins are packed with vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, making them great for eye health, boosting immunity, and supporting digestion.
