Our popular Fall friend, the pumpkin, is a powerhouse food! It’s lush deep orange color is a good way to tell how nutritious it really is, LOADED with carotenoids, which protect you from free radicals. Not only is pumpkin loaded with vitamin A and antioxidant carotenoids, particularly alpha and beta-carotenes, it’s a good source of vitamins C, K, and E, and lots of minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and iron.
