My Name is Pumpkin
Pumpkins are rich in potassium and Vitamin A. We are also very high in fibre, which is a very important part of a healthy diet. But please be careful. If you add too many eggs or too much salt and cream to pumpkin recipes, it takes away from our nutritional value. Try adding substitute sugar and eggs. Your parents can buy these at any grocery or health food store. Pumpkins are low in fat as long as you don't add a lot of milk or cream to them. We are 90% water. This may be hard to believe, but many fruits contain a lot of water. Be sure to try some delicious pumpkin recipes. Pumpkin is easy to bake with. Ask your mom or caregiver to help you make something out of pumpkin.
There's one more thing that I'd like to tell you before I leave. Pumpkins make great jack-o-lanterns. I'm sure you knew that already, but I just wanted to remind you. Halloween is coming soon and I wouldn't want you to forget to carve a couple of pumpkins to decorate your home.
Maybe next year you'd like to try to grow a pumpkin to carve for Halloween? If so, follow the link above to find out how to grow delicious pumpkins. Watch them grow throughout the season. They will ripen in late October, just in time for pumpkin carving. Have fun and enjoy!
