The pumpkin: sweet and natural flavour
from Angri

The Pumpkin is a sweet and tasty vegetable that satisfies the palate but also the line and health of the body. Pumpkin's nutritional properties are very salutary for the body: the pumpkin is made up of 94% water, is rich in fibre (which gives us a very positive sense of satiety for dieters) is an important source of vitamin A and C, beta-carotene and mineral salts (potassium, calcium and phosphorus).

Pumpkin is a concentration of health, well being and taste, especially because it is very versatile and perfect for any kind of cooking. Excellent in the oven, very good steamed, very tasty if fried and delicate if blitzed to make a cream.
