what was the best part of your weekend?
how to make your wedding (or party) more green
goodbye/fun facts....National Pumpkin Day . Pumpkins are so much
more than just a fun holiday accessory. Not only are they one of
the best-known sources of beta-carotene (an antioxidant converted
to vitamin A in the body), but pumpkins are loaded with fiber,
potassium, and vitamin C. Pumpkins are a member of the gourd
family, which includes cucumbers, honeydew melons, cantaloupe,
watermelons and zucchini. Most people don’t realize they are fruits
— not vegetables. These plants are native to Central America and
Mexico, but now grow on six continents. Even pumpkin seeds are a
popular snack. Grocery stores often sell them both hulled and
semi-hulled. They’re a good source of protein, magnesium, copper,
and zinc.
