Pumpkin Delight: Dive into Autumn’s Nutritional Goldmine!

The Return of Autumn Flavors

As the fall colors begin to spread their magic, our market shelves start brimming with delicious seasonal vegetables. While pumpkins set the mood for Halloween and chestnuts begin to drop, one veggie is making a standout appearance this year: the delightful pumpkin.

While some regions of France might still be enjoying the gentle reminisce of summer days, our bodies are certainly feeling the seasonal transition. It’s crucial, then, to match our diets to this shift. Say goodbye to the refreshing summer salads and juicy fruits and hello to the warm and comforting flavors of fall.

And what’s better than turning to the veggies endorsed by top digestive health experts?

Pumpkin: A Fall Superstar

According to renowned gastroenterologist, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, who’s making waves on social media, pumpkin is the fall vegetable to incorporate into our diets. But what’s causing this frenzy?

First, it’s vital to distinguish between pumpkin and potimarron. While pumpkins boast a round and ample silhouette, potimarron resembles more of a pear in shape and size. Moreover, while potimarron brings to mind the taste of chestnuts, pumpkin provides a sweet and soft flesh, delightful in many dishes.

When it comes to health, pumpkins pack a punch. As Dr. Bulsiewicz points out:

– It promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, especially the Akkermansia bacteria.
– It limits the growth of harmful bacteria, such as the Biophila bacteria.
– It enriches the diversity of the microbiome.
