Pumpkin is a round, orange or yellow vegetable with a mildly sweet flavor and soft texture when cooked. Rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, it's great for immunity and eye health. Pumpkin is versatile—used in curries, soups, sabzis, and even sweets like halwa. Its soft, comforting taste makes it a favorite in both everyday and festive dishes.
