Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a nutritious and versatile vegetable containing essential vitamins and minerals. Rich in fiber, pumpkin is a great addition to any diet and can be incorporated into a variety of dishes. With its creamy texture and sweet, mild flavor, pumpkin is a favorite for children and adults alike.

In addition to beta carotene, pumpkins offer vitamin C, vitamin E, iron, and folate -- all of which strengthen your immune system. More pumpkin in your diet can help your immune cells work better to ward off germs and speed healing when you get a wound.
