Taking advantage of seasonal vegetables offers up valuable nutrients specific to the season, while simultaneously adding a festive element we've all grown to love. Nothing says autumn like the fresh orange glow from a pumpkin, hand-picked from the patch. A staple for fall, the pumpkin has become the symbol of Halloween, of falling leaves and crisp nights, and of the comfort of home.
Surprises at this time of year lurk around every corner, and pumpkins are no exception. There's much more than meets the eye when it comes to the nutritional value and health properties of the famous bulbous gourd. And adding a cannabis kick takes it to the next level!
Pumpkin power
Pumpkins are packed with Vitamin A and are an excellent source of fiber, which is imperative for healthy digestive functioning. According to NutritionMD, "While maintaining the health of the digestive tract, [fiber] also lowers the risk of certain cancers, heart disease, and diabetes. It helps control the appetite, so it's easier to keep weight in check."
Fiber allows you to feel fuller longer, but that's only one facet of this festive superfood. The pumpkin is also known to aid in sleep, lower blood pressure, shrink the prostate, fight cancer, and even improve vision.
Combining the power of pumpkin with the medicinal magic of cannabis in a delicious meal can transform food into medicine, allowing you to "Eat to Treat!" Health-enhancing ingredients and strain choice are key when seeking the perfect blend for your personal needs. Everything from insomnia, appetite loss, pain, depression, migraines, and so much more can be eased with the soothing herb. Combining this potent plant with the love that goes into home-cooked meals really does have the potential to heal the soul.
New age of medicine
Now, we know it's tempting, but don't automatically start thinking pie when there are hundreds of other delicious ways to enjoy this all-star squash! Drunken Pumpkin Soup is a dish that packs a potent punch, combining bourbon and ale in a delicious broth with fresh pumpkin and, naturally, a cannabis accent. Bold enough to be served as an entrée, this is as heart-warming a spoonful as anyone could ask for.
Turmeric and sage elements combine in perfect synergy, "beefing up" this vegetarian option (when using vegetable broth) with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. With a double dose of all-natural healing power, Drunken Pumpkin Soup adds more than color to the menu!
Classic recipes with a magical twist might just be the perfect introduction to the world of medicinal cannabis cuisine. Choosing an all-natural, holistic healing approach takes time; and, as our relationship with cannabis evolves, so do our recipes. Innovations such as the MB Machine are making at home cannabis creations like the one below easier than ever imagined, and the possibilities are limitless!
