Punctually for Halloween, pumpkin is present everywhere. However, pumpkin is not only usable in the kitchen in many ways, but it is also an authentic miracle cosmetic. Here is some information on this multi-talent.
The pumpkin is native to America and was brought to Europe by Christopher Columbus. Currently, about 800 different species are known, of which about 500 are edible. Among the best known we find the Cucurbita moschata (Musquèe de Provence), the pumpkin people, the Cucurbita maxima (Rouge vif d'Etampes), the mandarin squash (Uchiki Kuri) as well as the microwave pumpkin.

The pumpkin pulp strengthens the immune system, stimulates digestion and is effective against inflammation. In addition, the pumpkin is a success as a friend of the line: thanks to its high water content (95%) it is very low in calories. Another advantage is the high content of vitamins (A, C and E), minerals and trace elements (potassium, calcium, and zinc).
