The nutritious orange vegetable has many health properties – it’s low in calories but rich in vitamins and minerals. It’s a good source of beta carotene, a powerful antioxidant that gives pumpkin its distinctive colour. Beta-carotene gets converted to vitamin A in our body once it’s consumed. Eating foods rich in beta-carotene helps protect against certain types of cancer, heart disease, asthma and delays aging. Vitamin A helps improve eyesight. So make sure you incorporate pumpkin into your diet.
