Pumpkin is a vegetable from the squash family. It offers a variety of health benefits, one of the most prominent being its vitamin A content. Just one half cup of pureed pumpkin offers 280% of the daily value of vitamin A. That half cup also provides 4 grams of fiber, making pumpkin a diabetic-friendly choice. It also has just 10 mg of sodium and 65 mg potassium, making it a heart-healthy choice. With only 50 calories per half cup serving, this fall favorite is also weight-management friendly.
Happy Fall!
