I have been eating pumpkins a lot lately and I remembered that someone mentioned pumpkin extract and I did a little more research to see if it is more beneficial to use the extract. Just eating pumpkins and pumpkin seeds can contribute to control of blood sugar and maybe the extract is more beneficial, but if we gotta eat anyway, I feel eating it means not having to take another supplement....
Here in China, most of the pumpkin I'm eating is cut into very small pieces in stir-fries, or in soup dishes. The pumpkin is never served as a main dish or the main vegetable in the dish. It is blended in, so that even if pumpkin isn't that enjoyable to the palate, it can be consumed without hardly noticing it.
I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but blended in, I can handle it fairly easily. Overtime, just like anything else, a taste can be acquired, although I can't ever envision myself craving more pumpkin...
Here are 3 sites I've just read:
