There’s more to pumpkin than meets the eye. A single cup of pumpkin provides seven grams of fiber to aid in digestion and a third of the daily need for vitamin K. Its bright orange color brings beta carotene to the mix, which acts as an antioxidant, fighting inflammation.
It’s also great for eye health. Pumpkin seeds offer healthy fats while packing in folate, an important nutrient for pregnant women to help prevent birth defects.
From pumpkin pancakes to baked oats, there are diverse ways to use this nutrient-dense fall crop.
