This was interesting and had perfect timing. My doctor just told me that Pumpkin, Dark Chocolate, and Magnesium assist in keeping blood pressure down. Since I have lots of problems with that, I have now incorporated all three into my diet. I have found that just a little bit of pumpkin works well without needing to over use it or even make it the main part of any dish.

Initially, I thought it was strange in Asia. I found that when I went out to some of the local barbeque restaurants, that they grilled pumpkin. Being game to try "almost" anything once, I gave it a shot and it is really good. Might be a bit late for the jack-o-lantern from from the holidays, but give it a try sometime. The sweetness of the pumpkin with the charcoal flavor of a grill is quite nice!

Grilling any vegetable is a delight, but I find that other than grilled I can only eat pumpkin in soups or peas mostly. When pureed I can only eat a bit or I get upset. I find that it acts as a very good laxative when eaten in greater quantities.

I will have to think more about this when I eat our pumpkin pie later. Maybe the nutrients in the pumpkin may not be the same as when its processed for the tin, that's how e normally get it.
