Nutritional values
Pumpkin contains a lot of beta-carotene, which is converted into the eye vitamin A and as a secondary plant substance protects all body cells antioxidatively. The seeds are especially good for the bladder and prostate because of the phytosterols. Beans bring protein as well as fiber into the stew.
If you can find Hokkaido pumpkin it does not necessarily have to be peeled. The peel, which also contains beta-carotene, becomes very soft when cooked; the vegetables should then be cooked for about 2 to 4 minutes longer.
