The Pumpkin is All Good
Use all the pumpkin! Celebrate Fall with pumpkin bread, roasted pumpkin seeds, etc. and then compost the rest of the pumpkin. Ways to use the entire pumpkin:
Fleshy Insides: Use the fleshy insides to make a pumpkin puree that can be used in any pumpkin recipe or to make a DIY facial mask because it is rich in zinc and vitamins A, C and E. Pumpkin Puree: After cutting your pumpkin in half and scooping out the seeds and guts, place cut-side down in a baking dish in a cup of water and bake at 350º for 90 min. Scoop out flesh and puree in a food processor. Guts: Use the stringy pieces (guts) that surround the seeds to make a pumpkin stock for adding flavor to foods. After removing the seeds, take the stringy pieces and boil in a pot of water for 30 min. Strain the pumpkin pieces out and use the broth as pumpkin stock to add flavor to food. Seeds: Roast the seeds with a dash of salt for a tasty snack. Whatever remains - make sure you compost it.
