WHY EAT ORGANIC PUMPKIN?


Pumpkin is an amazing versitile nutrient dense vegetable, that can used to create sweet or savoury dishes, the skin can be eaten and the seeds are a great source of essential vitamins and minerals...if thats not enough pumpkin is jam packed with vitamins A and C, pottassium, folic acid and Vitamin B.


The chemical concoction of herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilisers used on conventional pumpkins is defintley a reason to go organic, but did you also know that organic pumpkins are allowed to grow at a slower rate, therefore developing a fuller flavour, more nutrients and a deeper colour......
