Instead of forwarding the "Super Food" from our fabulous cafeteria staff... I thought it might help to put it on the blog! This months choice is not a big surprise...PUMPKINS!
Did you know that a Pumpkin is a fruit?
Pumpkins range in size from less than a pound to over 1,000 pounds.
The largest pumpkin ever weighed 1,140 pounds.
Pumpkins were once recommended for removing freckles and curing snake bites.
Pumpkins are 90 percent water.
They are a good source of potassium and Vitamin A.
The seeds can be toasted and eaten as a snack.
Pumpkins are used in soups, breads and pies.
This month look for the Super food in a salad and a dessert. We will be adding them to a salad on Thursday and we are having pumpkin pie on Tuesday the 15th.
