Healthy, because
Nutmeg pumpkin scores like most pumpkins with a lot of beta-carotene. This is good for our skin and hair. In addition, this plant pigment can be converted to vitamin A and thus helps with the visual process. Potatoes complement the pumpkin perfectly: thanks to their starch they make us full for a long time. In addition, the tuber contains plenty of vitamins, such as vitamin C. This is particularly important for a well-functioning immune system.
Even smarter
Nutmeg pumpkin tastes slightly more intense than other pumpkins. You can keep the whole pumpkin cool for up to half a year. A colourful salad or raw vegetables with a yoghurt dip go well with this dish.
