Pumpkin Fritters
While canned food is often shunned, canned pumpkin purée is one you don’t have to worry about! Canned pumpkin purée is packed with potassium (important for nerve and muscle health), iron (needed to carry oxygen in your blood), vitamin A (great for your eyes), and fiber (helps control blood sugar and keeps you fuller for longer). Plus, our recipe for Pumpkin Fritters has only 3 tablespoons of sugar, making it a healthful alternative to high sugar pumpkin products.
This traditional South African dish is simple and quick to make for or with your family!
