Pumpkin Day - With Recipe!
October 26th is Pumpkin Day. Yay!
Pumpkins are full of:
Beta-carotene: it is a provitamin sharing the color of carrots and sweet potatoes. Beta-carotene is a provitamin that the body turns into vitamin A, which contributes to good vision.
Vitamin C - good to fight the flu and other viruses of the season.
Vitamins A and C are antioxidants; they help fight inflammation.
