Pumpkin is one of the healthiest vegetables on the market, ideal for weight loss treatments and other procedures. The best way to introduce pumpkin into our daily diet is through creams, salads and even desserts, thanks to its sweet taste.
In any of its varieties, the pumpkin will always maintain its many nutritional properties. One of the main qualities of pumpkin is that it has 90% water in its composition, in addition to very few calories and carbohydrates.
Its minerals and vitamins include folic acid, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron or zinc, among others. Its high content of beta-carotenes is also of special importance, the same ones that give it its characteristic orange tone.
Not forgetting the presence of oleigo, palmitic, linoleic acids or amino acids. Gulab is a sweet from Indian and Pakistani cuisine, although it can also resemble pastry preparations from countries such as Jamaica, Trinidad and even Arabic cuisine.
