These were a challenge for us, to retain the soft creamy pumpkin flavour yet binding with natural products, avoiding all artificial additives.  These are really nice served with chutney and are a great contribution to a meal.

Nutritionally:

• Pumpkins are rich in vital antioxidants and vitamin A.
• Kumara rates as one of the most nutritious of all vegetables.  It is another good source of antioxidants, virtually fat-free, a good source of dietary fibre and vitamins A, C and E.
• Quinoa is full of protein, fibre and other fabulous nutrients.  It has all 9 essential amino acids, which makes it a complete vegetable protein.  Quinoa is also a complex carbohydrate meaning that it digests gradually, giving the body time to absorb the nutrients.
• Fresh parsley as you will know is a nutrient rich herb.   Parsley contains several flavonoid antioxidants which protect the cells from free radical damage responsible for many chronic diseases.  It is rich in vitamins, boosts digestion, has anti-inflammatory properties and many other incredible benefits to our health.
• Onions have several health benefits, mostly due to their high content of antioxidants and sulphur-containing compounds.  They have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.  Onions consist mostly of water, carbohydrates and fibre. The main fibres in them, Fructans, can feed the friendly bacteria in the gut, but they can also cause digestive problems in some people.
