Why they are more nutrious if they are soaked and if the fat content is really lowered 40%. An any info on the inhibitor that protect the seed and why this must be removed; animals that eat seeds do not soak them do they? Kevin I would like to know who did the research on soaking nuts.

Scrub 2-3 lbs. (about 1000 grams) of pumpkin or winter squash. Remove stems and seeds. Cut into chunks, place in Vitamix. Add 1 T. curry powder, 2 T. lucuma powder, 1 T. red or royal maca, and to your taste, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, star anise, allspice, cloves, powdered vanilla bean, and cardamom. Add 1 small clove garlic and one small shallot. Cover with nut mylk or seed mylk (I used hempseed mylk, since I had it on hand). Add 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt. Blend, starting at low speed, increasing speed till thoroughly blended. Adjust seasonings as needed (if not sweet enough, add more lucuma, or yacon syrup, or raw honey, or dark agave). Continue blending until soup is warm to the touch. Pour into large bowls, drizzle with cold-pressed nut oil (I used hazelnut, but almond, walnut, or any good quality organic nut or seed oil will work -- if I'd had it, I would have used pumpkin seed oil -- however, flaxseed oil would taste too strong, so I don't recommend it). Finish with a grind of Himalayan salt. Enjoy it in health and peace, with my compliments. OK, the pumpkin/winter squash soup I made today was so good I thought I’d share it. Scrub 2-3 lbs.

I USED to make cooked pumpkin soups, pies, cakes, etc., but changed my ways. In addition to "traditional" pumpkin spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger), mace, cloves, and cardamom add a lot to pumpkin recipes, as does a good curry powder. While the pumpkins are plentiful, don't be afraid to experiment. At worst, you won't like it & you'll have compost. At best, you'll have a recipe to share, treasure, and pass on to the world. Health and peace.

No combining fruits with fats. I eat my fruit and greens throughout the day and leave my fat serving (ie" nuts, seeds, etc) for "supper". Nothing after that until my fruit the next morning. Also, look into "Threelac" for Candida. I started on this supplement 3 months ago with great results!I even have to have it sent to me from the US to Canada and it is worth the extra cost.Go to www.candidafree.net. Alyson and Mark are great! So, does not combining fruits and fats rule out most desserts - yup! I have them very sparingly, which should be the rule for any dessert really. Today is my birthday and my son is 16 tomorrow and I just made a raw "ice cream" cake which does combine fats and sugars but I won't eat something like that again for months ...and with the Threelac I really do not worry about it when I do indulge. HTH:-) Threelac is fantastic! Joanne Re: Candida.

I scoop out the seeds and (used to ) fry in a little oil and salt and eat. I will now eat them raw or make balls out of them. What I do not eat and I have lots leftover I toss into the woods for the deer, they love pumpkins, they are bake there in a hour of my tossing. Also I found out that pumpkin seeds help chickens to ward of paracites, so they will get some. I guess I will be buying more this year. I also like hubbard squash the meat has less moisture that might be good for this dessert. I buy many pumpkins for the holiday, I usually don’t cut them since they rot.

I was also wondering(the diy-er in me) how I would manage to use my own pumpkin seeds. Yours are already green and dry. I just can't fathom scooping them out and managing to split the skins off, how is that done? I grow my own but then give the seeds to my birds, who like them!. And then I go buy some for me for about $ 7.00 per pound ......what's wrong with this picture?!

There is something abour raw squash/raw pumpkin that is just such a turn off. Taste NOTHING like pumpkin bars. Need to find a new name for them so you aren't thinking they will taste anything like pumpkin bars. Luckily I had some cream cheese frosting left over in the fridge. Had to put a little bit on there to get those suckers down! ;-) Just made these “pumpkin bars”….eww…..not good at all! There is something abour raw squash/raw pumpkin that is just such a turn off.
