All Smiles for Pumpkins
The deep orange color of a pumpkin is the clue to its hidden riches — significant amounts of beta-carotene, a key nutrient that helps bodies make vitamin A. It’s an essential vitamin for good health, especially for eyes and skin.
For Fall, think outside the jack o lantern and consider Pumpkin Apple Butter, Pumpkin Curry Soup, Pumpkin-Oatmeal Raisin Cookies or Thai Pumpkin Satay. Or take the small decorative pumpkins used to surround fall flower arrangements, scoop them out and stuff them with corn casseroles, cooked carrots, or favorite squash recipes. The individualized servings are colorful and flavorful.
Pumpkin’s aren’t just for carving any more. Or, just for kids.
