Pumpkins are in season and believe or not there are 42 different varieties. They are either edible or decorative. They come in all sorts of sizes, shapes, colors, and textures, and are one of the best-known sources of beta-carotene and fiber. Packed with vitamin A, C, E, iron, and folate, high in antioxidants that may reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and the best sources of lutein and zeaxanthin for protecting your eyes.
