Fresh Pumpkin Hummus
Living Raw
Going straight to the source and gathering fresh ingredients will have our tastebuds celebrating as most chefs will confirm. However, eating fresh food not only increases flavor but also enhances nutrition and connects us with the changing of the seasons. With the availability of food across space and time, many of us have lost touch with the joy of eating fresh food. We are here to promote it in every possible way.
One of the most celebrated seasonal vegetables is the pumpkin which is a type of winter squash. When consumed fresh, it offers an abundance of vitamin A, vitamin C, lutein, potassium, antioxidants, and fiber.
Chef Ken offers us a great way to enjoy fresh pumpkin as a hummus. The joy and pleasure of nature’s bounty are just around the corner with this one!
