In addition to pro-vitamin A, both varieties of pumpkin also contain significant amounts of vitamin C, potassium, and, very importantly, a lot of fiber, including its soluble part - pectin, which helps reduce blood cholesterol levels. Among other vegetables of the pumpkin family, melons, including the little-known cantaloupe, also deserve attention. It is enough to eat one cantaloupe to get β-carotene and provide more than double the amount of vitamin C.
