Nutritional values

Pumpkin seeds and their oil provide many important vitamins, including vitamin E, which is considered an effective cell protection and natural anti-aging agent. They also contain substances that can lower cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease, and their valuable fats protect the heart and blood vessels.

For a vegan option of pumpkin cream soup you can replace the cream with 2 tablespoons of light almond paste or alternative products from the supermarket.
