It’s October, which means that we are in peak pumpkin season. While some of us might associate this squash cultivar with jack o’ lanterns and Halloween, pumpkins are great for food.
Pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread are known to most, but these orange guys have food uses that you might’ve never known about!
Make Beer
In many countries, it’s common to see pumpkin beers in autumn, when they’re in season. Many stouts and porters are made with pumpkin, where they are combined with other flavors such as vanilla and cinnamon. They are delicious if you enjoy beer.
Roast its Seeds
If you find yourself carving a pumpkin to make a jack o’ lantern for Halloween this year, don’t throw those seeds out! You can roast them in the oven to make a delicious snack that is light, crunchy, and delicious.
Mash it For a Delicious Side Dish
Mashed potatoes are delicious, so why wouldn’t mashed pumpkin be? The flesh of this fruit is delicious and you can combine with other ingredients such as butter, cheese, and garlic in order to make a bright orange and scrumptious side.
