🎃 Delicious ideas for your Halloween pumpkins - turn your decorations into a sustainable treat!
Your Halloween pumpkin can look more than just spooky: You can use the flesh and seeds to make lots of delicious things! Whether it's creamy soups, juicy pastries or crispy snacks - discover how you can make delicious use of your pumpkin leftovers.
After Halloween, many carved pumpkins simply end up in the bin - but there is so much goodness in them! The flesh and seeds are not only tasty, but also rich in nutrients such as beta-carotene, magnesium, zinc and valuable fatty acids. So please don't throw them away - use them instead!
🍲 Utilise delicious fruit pulp
The flesh of classic Halloween pumpkins usually tastes mild and slightly sweet - perfect as a base for many dishes. They are particularly good for:
Warming pumpkin soup with ginger, turmeric and a dash of coconut milk
Pumpkin bread or muffins that are wonderfully moist
Hearty casseroles or curries in which the pumpkin harmonises well with other vegetables
Tip: If you know that you want to use the flesh after carving, you can use aromatic varieties such as Hokkaido or Butternut - they can even be enjoyed with the skin on.
Roasting pumpkin seeds - a crunchy snack for in between meals
You shouldn't throw away the seeds either! Simply rinse them well, dry them and roast them in the oven with a little oil, salt or spices. This makes a deliciously crunchy snack - or a topping for salads, soups and bowls.
Enjoy sustainably
The best thing about it: you avoid wasting food and get the most out of your pumpkin - in keeping with a conscious and sustainable lifestyle.
