Pumpkin Seed Benefits
Your body needs zinc to manufacture one hundred different enzymes; it supports your sense of smell and taste as well as the immune system. (Follow the link below to learn more about zinc and the immune system.) Many foods that are rich in zinc contain saturated fat (red meat, for example), so having a zinc-rich plant source (pumpkin seeds) is a healthier alternative.

WINTER SQUASH
Types: Acorn, Butternut, Delicata, Hubbard, Turban, Spaghetti (Pictures and descriptions of each)
Choose firm squash that have no visible soft spots or blemishes.
FYI: This is very important. I chose a spaghetti squash at a reputable store. The squash had a soft spot near the stem but, since I liked the price, I ignored the blemish. I poked holes in the squash with a fork (as instructed) and placed the yellow beauty in the microwave. About three quarters of the way through the baking process, I noticed a strange smell coming from the microwave. The squash had cracked open; it was filled with moldy, black powder! Yikes!
Store in a dry, cool spot (but not the refrigerator)
Use within a month or so.
