London - Apart from carving scary faces into pumpkins for Halloween, what else can you do with these fruits?
That’s right, pumpkins are classified as fruit - berries, actually - related to cucumbers, melons, squash and gourds.
First stop has to be cook with it.
A quick Google will help you find recipes for spicy Thai pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, pumpkin risotto, even sweet pumpkin roulade.
And don’t throw away the seeds. Roasted, they make a really tasty snack or a sprinkle for salads.
Clean off the flesh in a sieve and then boil the seeds in salted water for ten minutes before toasting them in a hot oven on a generously oiled baking tray.
Toss them occasionally to coat in the oil and remove from the oven when they start to brown. Allow to cool before eating. - Daily Mail
