Everything! Really. Everything. From their anti-inflammatory, prostate cancer fighting seeds through their low carb, vitamin rich flesh to their decorative skin. There’s not much that can hold a candle to the humble pumpkin.

Why we fell in love
The highlight of our Halloween ball. The pumpkin has been promoted from table decoration to main meal in our lives. Vitamins A, B, C and E. Potassium, manganese, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, folate, niacin, thiamine and pantothenic acid. Low salt, low carb, low fat. It’s an impressive list.

And that’s before we’ve even looked at the seeds. Ahh, pumpkin seeds. Full of iron for our blood, zinc for our skin, calcium for our bones and magnesium for our nerves. Then there’s protein and omega-3 too. It seems they love us as much as we love them.
