Q: Pumpkins are everywhere in the fall. But are they good for me?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pumpkins are more than a seasonal decoration or flavoring for lattes. They have a long history as a versatile and vital source of nutrition, said Denee Bex, a dietitian and diabetes care and education specialist in Farmington, N.M.<\/p>\n

The pumpkin, which is a type of squash, is native to the Americas and was farmed by Indigenous communities \u201clong before the arrival of Europeans,\u201d Ms. Bex, who is Navajo, said.<\/p>\n
