How Do I Benefit From Eating Pumpkin?

Pumpkin Power

Pumpkin is an antioxidant powerhouse and just 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin contains between 160 and 260 percent of the RDA for beta-carotene - that's TWICE as much as you'd get from the same amount of spinach. Its high content of zeaxanthin & lutein is also believed to be a powerful cataract fighter, plus it's also a good source of fiber and iron.
