The pumpkin, from the Cucurbitaceae, with its smooth skin and yellow-orange flesh, is rich in carotenoids, which are beneficial for skin and eyesight. Pumpkin masks moisturise the skin and soothe sunburn, while carotenoids promote a tan and protect against cancer. Rich in vitamins and minerals, it supports immunity, cardiovascular and bone health, as well as good mood and sleep thanks to tryptophan.
