Pumpkins pack powerful nutrients

Pumpkins come in many shapes and sizes but there is definitely a difference between those grown for eating and those grown for displaying, especially in the taste.  Jack-o-lantern type pumpkins are the most popular for carving. This type of pumpkin will likely taste bland if you prepare it for eating Sugar Pie and Sugar Treat pumpkins are among those used for eating. They tend to be smaller and more evenly rounded than their carved out counterparts.
