Pumpkin has got good nutritional value and normally the way I prepare it would be to just cut them up into cubes and cook them by itself which is tasty enough and also that has been the way that I have been cooking all these years. Now with my new blender, I can try to prepare my pumpkin in a different way which is simple fast and delicious. Pumpkin is not only loaded with vitamin A, C, K, E and antioxidant carotenoids, it also contains magnesium, phosphorus, iron, folate, potassium, manganese, copper, B6, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin and pantothenic acid — and is low in salt, cholesterol and saturated fat.
Pumpkin has been known to be called the Wonder Veggie and here is a very simple method to prepare this fantastic dish by thermomix.
