Pumpkins - nutritional benefits + cooking

Please do not over dose on pumpkin/pumpkin seeds! Everything in moderation. This video is meant to be educational and hopefully teach you something that you didn't already know about pumpkins. The nutritional information in this video was researched and extracted from these two websites: 1. http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/diabetes_prevention/Snack_on_Pumpkin_or_Sunflower_Seeds.php#ixzz1bYXagxl9 2. http://www.nutrition-and-you.com/pumpkin.html If you cook the pumpkin the way I do it and think it's disgusting, it's not the pumpkin, it's me. i have an odd taste. And sorry, I don't measure...i just add ingredients as i see fit. I FORGOT TO MENTION: I peeled the skin of the pumpkin (before cubing it) with a regular fruit peeler. Much easier than using a knife! PUMPKIN SOUP: Cube the pumpkin + onions. Toss w olive oil and roast in the oven for 40 min at 450 degrees. Take it out and blend (i used a magic bullet bc that's all i have). Simmer on the stove top with some water (or chicken stock or anything else that you like). ROASTED PUMPKIN: Cube the pumpkin. Toss with olive oil, some salt, some pepper. Roast in oven for about 40 min at 450 degrees. Take out and cool.
