Pumpkins and squash contain high levels of antioxidants and carotenes, notably vitamin C and E and therefore may lower cancer risk, heart disease, cataracts and strokes.
Unlike many other vegetables, pumpkins can be kept for a long time, as they are hard-skinned.
An average-sized helping of pumpkins or squash every second day can provide many benefits.
