Nutrients in the humble PUMPKIN

Pumpkin is an often-overlooked source of fibre, but with three grams per one-cup serving, and only 49 calories, it can help keep you feeling full for longer on fewer calories. The free-radical-neutralising powers of the carotenoids in pumpkin, which keep cancer cells at bay, also help keep the skin wrinkle-free. Pumpkin seeds are also rich in the amino acid tryptophan, which is important in the production of serotonin, one of the major players when it comes to maintaining our mood. Hence, a handful of roasted pumpkin seeds may help your outlook stay bright and cheerful.
