Pumpkins are a fun fall favorite, but they're also a superfood packed with nutrients, a dietitian told CBS News.
It's pumpkin season! And there are more pumpkin products available than ever before. Some just capitalize on the popularity of seasonal spices — but did you know pumpkins themselves are packed with nutritional benefits?Julia Zumpano, a registered dietitian at Cleveland Clinic, says pumpkin is a superfood.'It's high in fiber, which helps with blood sugar management, helps keep you more satisfied, helps with gut health and digestion,' she says.
'It's easy to incorporate more pumpkin in your diet, Zumpano says. They can be roasted, pureed into soup, or incorporated into muffins, breads or pancakes. 'Canned pumpkin on its own, with no other added ingredients, can be added into our foods, but you want to avoid purchasing foods that may have a lot of sugar or added fats that are pumpkin flavored,' she says. 'They may not actually contain a significant amount of pumpkin.'Don't forget the seeds, either.
