I have read that pumpkin is a very healthy food. Although I'm sure most people buy canned pumpkin to make pumpkin pie, thereby adding sugar, saturated fats, white flour etc.. The net result is to cancel-out any potential health benefit.
So I decided to see if I could find ways to eat the all natural pumpkin in ways that would not degrade it. So far I have tried adding a 1/4 cup to my oatmeal in the morning and it works very well.
I don't eat yogurt but if I did, I would try mixing some pumpkin into the yogurt. That would be plain non-fat yogurt of course.
How about a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of pumpkin mixed into a soup? I haven't tried that yet but I will as soon as I get to the store and buy more canned pumpkin.
Any other sugestions on how to use pumpkin?
