Pumpkin is rightfully considered one of the healthiest foods, so it should be consumed regularly.
Pumpkin does not lose its beneficial properties even when frozen, so it is always worth preserving.
However, it is important that the pumpkin is not only tasty, but also healthy, notes chef Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on culinary issues for the online publication BelNovosti.
What are the main subtleties?
The best way to cook
When fried, pumpkin is tasty, but loses some of its beneficial properties. When boiled, the taste of the product becomes imperceptible and very "blurred".
Therefore, it is worth choosing baking as the best cooking method.
Spices for sweet pumpkin
The product's advantages are that it can be used to make healthy desserts. In this case, coconut or cane sugar, cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon should be used as additives. This will make the pumpkin incredibly tasty and aromatic.
If pumpkin is used as a side dish or main dish
In this case, the natural sweetness of pumpkin will go well with chili peppers or jalapenos. Ground ginger is an excellent addition.
Coriander is also worth considering as an option.
