Fall season or autumn season food - pumpkin porridge

One of my favorite vegetables is sweet pumpkin, which is also a nutritious. In addition to having a high dietary fiber and water content, which helps to prevent constipation, sweet pumpkin is high in vitamins B and C, which are beneficial for boosting immunity. It works to reduce cholesterol, which helps to prevent cancer and blood vessel disorders. Furthermore, beta carotene, which possesses antioxidant qualities, is abundant in sweet pumpkin. It is advised to store sweet pumpkin in a cool location and to pick one that is uniformly dark, firm, and heavy for its size.
