Increasingthe beta carotenes in yourdiet can reduce the risk of developingsome cancers and provideprotection against heart disease.And do not throw the seeds inthe compost pile, roast them insteadand enjoy the anti-inflammatorybenefits of this snack.Remove the pulp by rinsing theseeds in cold water. Spread theseeds in a single layer on a bakingsheet treated with a non-stickcooking oil. Lightly salt. Bakeat 325° for 25 minutes. Stir theseeds after 10 minutes. Allow tocool and store any leftovers, ifthere are any, in an airtight container.Harvest pumpkins when thefruit is fully colored and the rindhas lost its shine and is hard. Thecurly tendrils near the pumpkinwill turn brown and die when thefruit is fully ripe. Use a pruningshear to cut the stem and avoiddamage to the plant and yourharvest. Leaving several inchesof the pumpkin’s stem intactincreases their storage life. Andlook for blemish-free fruit withintact stems when buying pumpkinsfrom the grocery store orfarmers’ market.Always harvest pumpkins beforethe first frost.
