If you have too many pumpkins and you are looking for a great way to insert that great flavour and nutrition into a baked item, why not try the Pumpkin Pie Scone. These are wonderful for lunches and perfect for an afternoon snack.
Pumpkins are jammed packed with large amounts of antioxidants and beta-carotene. Antioxidants, as most of us know by know due to increased awareness of the importance of healthy living, help strengthen our immune system. Beta-carotene converts to Vitamin A and helps reduce the risk of cancer and other dangerous diseases. Pumpkins by themselves are also very low in fat and calories, and high in potassium. They also possess a fair amount of Vitamin C and other nutrients, such as Niacin, Vitamin E, Calcium and Iron.
