    Pumpkin hummus

    Pumpkin is a must in my kitchen. It’s a delicious, creamy and sweet ingredient. It’s versatile. You can use pumpkin either for savoury or sweet dishes. It is easy to digest, is a good source of fibre and Vitamin A, potassium and magnesium. It’s also low in calories, antioxidant, has benefits for a good vision and a healthy cardiovascular system and it’s an affordable product.
