ABOUT ME
I am a member of the winter squash family, a favourite during autumn. I am particularly high in vitamin A - one cup of cooked pumpkin contains over 200% of the daily value! Vitamin A can help the body fight infection, and strengthens the intestinal lining. I’m also very low in calories, making me ideal for weight-reduction programmes
