Out of all the desserts on Thanksgiving, eating a slice of pumpkin pie might be the healthiest choice. Pumpkin is rich in nutrients like vitamins A and C which are important for your eye sight and immune system. One cup of pumpkin has almost an entire day’s worth of vitamin A! It also contains antioxidants that can help eliminate cell-damaging free radicals in your body and help ward off some cancers. Also heart-healthy magnesium and potassium. And pumpkin is a good source of fiber.
With that in mind, salted caramel pumpkin pie is going to take Thanksgiving day to a new level. Here’s a video on how to make one, including how to make your own salted caramel. That comes in handy for all sorts of treats.
