1, pumpkin can be eaten raw, but it tastes bad and difficult to digest. If it is a tender pumpkin, you can shred or slice it, rinse it with water, add a little salt monosodium glutamate, sprinkle with sesame oil and eat it cold. It is also a very good appetizer. If it is an old pumpkin, it is not recommended to eat it raw because it will be astringent.

2. Pumpkin is rich in nutrients, including 17 amino acids, protein, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B, glucose, fat, mannitol, pectin, dietary fiber, lutein, fructose, starch, carotene, pentosan calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, selenium, sodium, phosphorus and other nutrients, which can be enhanced if eaten frequently.

Pumpkin is rich in carotene, some of which will be converted into vitamin a after entering the human body. Vitamin A can maintain eyesight and skin health, and improve night blindness and rough skin.
