(Food-Beverage-News.Com, November 24, 2014 ) Taylor, MI -- Pumpkin is considered a health food powerhouse because it's so rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, minerals, anti-oxidants, beta-carotene, and potassium; and it's low in calories, only 49 calories in one cup.
Fresh pumpkin puree will add extra zest to any recipe and it's easy to prepare. To make a puree: cut the pumpkin in half and place it cut-side down; cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for about 90 minutes or until the flesh is tender. After it cools, scoop out the flesh and puree. Strain the puree for extra-smooth and silky soups and custards. Small sugar pie pumpkins will have the best flavor. A four pound pumpkin will yield about 1˝ cups of puree. But canned pumpkin works just as well, even professional bakers use it.
Pumpkin pie is a traditional holiday favorite but pumpkin is also a main ingredient in a variety of interesting recipes such as: pumpkin soup, pumpkin fritters, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin cheesecake, and, of course, pumpkin breads and muffins.
