About Creole pumpkin
The Creole pumpkin, also known as calabaza or West Indian pumpkin, is a staple ingredient in Caribbean, Latin American, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Renowned for its rich, earthy flavor, it boasts a vibrant orange flesh and tough green or mottled skin. Packed with nutrients, the Creole pumpkin is an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamin A, and potassium, which support eye health, digestion, and blood pressure regulation. It is naturally low in calories and fat, making it a heart-healthy choice for soups, stews, and roasted dishes. Additionally, its high water content promotes hydration. While the flesh is highly nutritious, preparations involving added sugars or frying can diminish its health benefits. The seeds, rich in protein and healthy fats, can be roasted for a nutritious snack. This versatile pumpkin serves as a flavorful and wholesome addition to various traditional recipes worldwide.
