Is pumpkin healthy?

Pumpkin is a type of winter squash, sort of like spaghetti or delicata squash. Although a pumpkin is technically a fruit, the nutritional breakdown is very similar to a vegetable!

Pumpkin comes in several varieties, and you can bake and make your own puree. Most people opt to just buy it in a can.

Pumpkin has several vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, among several other health benefits. It also has a lower number of calories which makes it easy to incorporate into healthy recipes.

Pumpkin is so versatile and can be used in sweet or savory recipes depending on how it is combined with other ingredients.
