Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata / Cucurbita maxima) is a highly nutritious vegetable known for its bright orange flesh and mildly sweet flavor. It is an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants like beta-carotene, which support eye health, immunity, and overall wellness.
In cooking, pumpkin is very versatile – it can be used in curries, sambar, stir-fries, soups, and desserts like halwa and pies. In Kerala cuisine, pumpkin is often prepared in dishes like mathanga erissery, aviyal, and thoran, blended with coconut and spices.
