Eating pumpkin puree can help you meet your daily fiber needs. A 1-cup serving contains 7 grams of fiber. Women need 21 to 25 grams of fiber a day, and men need 30 to 38 grams, so one serving of the pureed pumpkin meets 18 to 33 percent of your daily needs. Getting more fiber in your diet may help lower your risk of heart disease by decreasing cholesterol levels, it helps improve digestion by alleviating constipation and helps you feel full faster so you eat less. Pumpkins' orange color is a big hint that they're loaded with the antioxidant beta-carotene, which is one of the plant carotenoids converted to Vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is essential for healthy, glowing skin, strong eyesight, and our immune system.
