National Pumpkin Day 2018
 |
These melons are a rich source of vitamins and fiber and make excellent pies, cakes, and puddings.
Pumpkins are grown everywhere in the United States, including Alaska.
The seeds are rich in an essential oil which has copious amounts of essential fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins such as vitamins E and K as well as more esoteric nutrients such as phytosterols and sterine.
I have been known to purchase a pumpkin every few years because I encounter one that I simply cannot resist for it's size and form ...
the artistry of nature grips me in the autumn, my favorite time of the year.
Happy National Pumpkin Day to you.
