Pumpkins are not only a seasonal decoration or flavoring, but they also offer numerous health benefits. Packed with nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber, pumpkin is considered a nutrient-dense food. It is rich in vitamin A, vitamin K, fiber, and vitamin E, and also contains vitamin B6, vitamin C, magnesium, riboflavin, iron, and potassium.
