Pumpkin
This silly orange squash is good for more than just carving scary faces. Pumpkins provide a delicious dose of Vitamin A and C. And like some of the other winter squash, it works well with both sweet and savory flavors. Pumpkin can be mixed with ground beef and herbs for a delicious entree, or sugar and spices for a sweet treat.
