It’s that time of year. The nights are closing in, the leaves are falling from the trees, and thanks to Halloween we have an excess of pumpkin to eat.

So, what do you do with all that pumpkin? Unfortunately a lot of people just throw away the orange flesh they’ve carved out. Well, we’re here to help you with four fantastic pumpkin recipes. 

Oh, and just a quick note to say, obviously don’t eat any of the pumpkins used as jack-o'-lanterns. 

Do you just throw away the inner part of the pumpkin? Well stop! Instead, separate out the seeds, give them a good rise and then follow this recipe for a delicious nutritious Halloween snack. An average portion will give you good amounts of Phosphorus, Magnesium, Manganese and Copper. 

These delicious muffins will look after your heart, bones, cells and vision because they are full of Omega 3 ALA, Phosphorous, Manganese, Vitamin A, Calcium, Riboflavin (B2) and Lutein & Zeaxanthin!

Once the kids have passed out with sugar overload, grab a nice glass of red and sit down with your partner for these classy little pastas. Fun fact: Tortelli alla Zucca are a typical Christmas dish in Mantova and according to tradition are eaten on Christmas Eve. 

These little parcels will give you loads of Vitamin A, Phosphorus, Calcium, Selenium, Riboflavin (B2), Thiamin (B1) and Lutein & Zeaxanthin!

This vegan curry is a cracking way to get all round protection for your immune system, blood, DNA, skin, bowels and eyesight. It’s full of Vitamin A, Manganese, Iron, Phosphorus, Thiamin (B1), Fibre, Lutein & Zeaxanthin, Quercetin and more!

Whatever you decide to do with your pumpkin, we hope you and your little ones have a wonderful Halloween.
