The sight of glowing golden pumpkins piled up outside the greengrocer?s shop is a sure sign that autumn, or fall, is well and truly with us.
Pumpkin is a beautiful, delicately flavoured vegetable, and a highly nutritious one. As with so many brightly coloured veg, pumpkin are high in carotenoids, a type of antioxidant, substances which protect against cancer and heart disease, and keep the body youthful for longer.
Pumpkin is also rich in fibre, minerals and vitamins. By making fresh pumpkin recipes, you maximise the nutritional benefits of this versatile veg. But you can substitute canned pumpkin in any recipe which uses puree.
