I could go on and on about all the delicious healthy recipes that CAN show up during this time of year with all this delicious fall produce - but let's keep it simple. During this time of year pumpkin tends to show up a lot (thinking of those pumpkin spice lattes over here) and this recipe is no exception. However, it's not filled with a bunch of crazy ingredients like many of the pumpkin things are during this time of year. Pumpkin has so many different positive nutrition facts around it from vitamin A.
- Rich in Nutrients: Pumpkin is loaded with vitamins A, C, and E, which support immunity, skin health, and eye health.
- High in Antioxidants: Its bright orange color comes from beta-carotene, an antioxidant that can reduce inflammation and protect cells from damage.
- Good Source of Fiber: Pumpkin’s high fiber content aids digestion, supports gut health, and helps maintain steady blood sugar levels.
- Low-Calorie, Filling Food: Pumpkin is low in calories but high in nutrients, making it a satisfying option that can help with weight management.
- Supports Heart Health: Its potassium, vitamin C, and fiber all contribute to lower blood pressure and better heart health.
