Abstract

If you've never tried the non-fruit part of the pumpkin plant, this is an excellent way to start.

"Pumpkin leaves and flowers were the vegetables that Zimbabwean expatriate Dorothy Johnson missed most from home, so the minute she could establish a garden, she started growing pumpkin in order to harvest the tender leaves to make her beloved muboora. Pumpkin leaves are a little like a sweet spinach and according to Dorothy, a source of many vital minerals and nutrients - high in niacin, vitamins A, E and K, as well as B6 and a good source of folate, calcium, iron and potassium. It’s wickedly delicious cooked with the peanut sauce." Maeve O'Meara, Food Safari Earth
