It's of course the perfect season for making all kinds of pumpkin recipes

Pumpkin isn't just for fall, of course.  It's so healthy that you really should make it a part of your diet year-round.

Health Benefits of Pumpkin

Pumpkin is high in:

• carotenoids
• protein (the pumpkin seeds are, so if you are using the whole pumpkin, save those seeds.  We even make pumpkin seed butter regularly.  It's high in zinc as well.)
• EFA's (essential fatty acids)
• Vitamin A
• Vitamin C
• Magnesium
• Potassium
• Zinc
• Fiber (source)

Now that you feel good about eating pumpkin, here are some great recipes to keep you healthy throughout the fall! And bonus, they aren't just healthy because they include pumpkin; they're all gluten-free and refined sugar free, too.
