Pumpkin Pie Aside

Autumn is approaching and it’s pumpkin time! Did you know that half a cup of pumpkin provides nearly 200 percent of your daily requirement of Vitamin A?

And yet, it’s not a popular choice as source of beta-carotene, the precursor of Vitamin A, probably because the recipes we know are also packed with calories and fat. Here are five better pumpkin products featured by the Women’s Health Mag:

1. Alfonso Gourmet Pasta Pumpkin Ravioli

2. Sgt. Pepper’s Pumpkin Chipotle Sauce
