Highlights: Organic Hokkaido Pumpkin (Cucurbita Maxima) is also known as Red Kuri squash (ウチキクリ), due to its intense red-orange colour. Traditionally available in October, it arrives ready for Halloween. Like other varieties of pumpkin it is packed with fibre and carotenoids as well as minerals and water-soluble B and C vitamins.

The flesh tastes a little like sweet chestnuts and can be used both for desserts in cakes, muffins, pies and savoury in soups and casseroles. It bakes well and once the seeds are removed from the cavity can be stuffed with either sweet or savoury contents.

Organic Pumpkin has a range of fantastic benefits, including being one of the best-known sources of beta carotene. Beta carotene is a powerful antioxidant that gives orange vegetables and fruits their vibrant color. The body converts any ingested beta carotene into vitamin A. Consuming foods with high volumes of beta carotene may have the following benefits:

reducing the risk of developing certain types of cancer
offering protection against asthma and heart disease
decreasing the risk of age-related macular degeneration

Many studies have suggested that eating more plant foods, such as pumpkin, decreases the risk of obesity and overall mortality. It can also help a person avoid diabetes and heart disease, promote a healthy complexion and hair, increase energy, and a healthy body mass index (BMI).
