1. Alkaline Diet Recipe - Autumn Pumpkin Stew
Here is a great theme of using pumpkins and seasonal vegetables in your alkaline recipe cookbook,
as I believe in the importance of eating seasonal foods and particularly pumpkins which are at
their best in the autumn months.
This is a delicious pumpkin stew which contains other healthy and alkaline vegetables like carrots,
sweet potato, onions and garlic which are all packed with a wide range of nutrients.
The word pumpkin originates from the word “pepon”, which is Greek for “large melon”. They are
available in various shapes and sizes and they are a great source of vitamin C, potassium, vitamin
A, dietary fibre and manganese and are a good source of folate and omega 3 fatty acids.
This nutritious and alkaline stew will definitely keep you warm and fill you up nicely in these chilly
autumn nights!
