Pumpkin Pie Aside

by ruth on September 19th, 2007

Autumn is approaching and it’s pumpkin time! Did you know that half a cup of pumpkin provides nearly 200 percent of your daily requirement of Vitamin A?

And yet, it’s not a popular choice as source of beta-carotene, the precursor of Vitamin A, probably because the recipes we know are also packed with calories and fat. Here are five better pumpkin products featured by the Women’s Health Mag:

1. Alfonso Gourmet Pasta Pumpkin Ravioli

2. Sgt. Pepper’s Pumpkin Chipotle Sauce

3. Kashi TLC Pumpkin Spice Flax

4. Nature’s Path Organic FlaxPlus — Pumpkin Raisin Crunch

5. Kozlowski Farms Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Butter

With these, pumpkins can be a regular part of your diet, not just in autumn but whole year round!
