Nutritional Value
Pumpkin contains vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber and some iron. Eating five daily servings of vegetables and fruits lowers the chances of cancer. A recent study found that eating nine or ten daily servings of vegetables and fruits, combined with three servings of low-fat dairy products, were effective in lowering blood pressure.
Applications
This good looking pumpkin's multi-purpose personality makes it perfect for pie, cookies, muffins, quick breads and a variety of tasty confections. Not only a delicious and full-flavored pumpkin, it doesn't mind being carved with a spooky Halloween face or simply painted and used as a holiday ornamental. To store, keep cool and dry.
Geography/History
Trickster pumpkins' semi-bush plants yield this lovely deep orange round fruit and produce long firmly attached green stems. Making the fall season scene earlier than most pumpkin varieties in its class, Tricksters usually make their welcomed ready-to-harvest debut between eighty-five and ninety-days after planting.
