Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo or Cucurbita maxima) is a variety of squash native to North America. While many of us have a favorite pumpkin pie recipe that we pull out during the holidays, pumpkin nutrition makes it a healthful food to consume year-round in sweet and savory preparations.
Health benefits-Pumpkin is low in calories and high in fiber, which may help with weight loss. Fiber can help you feel full, reduce appetite and food intake, encourage regular bowel movements, reduce blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and improve mineral absorption in the gut, all of which may benefit weight management.
