Hi friends 🤗,
I have seen a variety of foods made from pumpkin in this vegan community. Actually, we can prepare and eat pumpkin in various ways. So I thought of sharing with you a pumpkin recipe that is cooked in the village style in Sri Lanka. These days, the prices of pumpkins here are a little low. We bought this pumpkin from the market. So these days, because the price of these is low, the attention of vegetable growers has increased for this.
There are different varieties of pumpkins. They vary in shape, size and color. Also, pumpkin is a type of vegetable that contains very good nutrients. Doctors often tell us that we should eat yellow vegetables and fruits every day. Yellow vegetables and fruits are very beneficial for the body. So pumpkin is a vegetable with high nutritional value.
It contains antioxidants, vitamin C, A etc. It is also a vegetable rich in fiber .Because pumpkin produces less calories in our body, it is very good for people who are trying to lose weight.
The yellow color in pumpkins is due to beta-carotene, which produces vitamin A. Vitamin A is a very beneficial nutrient for the survival of the retina in the human eye.
Pumpkin can be prepared and eaten in various ways. There are different types of recipes that are special from country to country.
So now I am going to tell you how to prepare pumpkin in our country.
