Organic Sweet Pumpkin (মিষ্টি কুমড়া)

Our Organic Sweet Pumpkin (মিষ্টি কুমড়া) is cultivated organically in rural Bangladesh, where it grows abundantly without any chemical assistance on naturally fertile soil. This vibrant orange vegetable owes its deep color to beta-carotene — the precursor to vitamin A — one of the most important nutrients for healthy vision, immune function, and skin integrity. A single serving of sweet pumpkin provides more than 200% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin A, along with significant quantities of vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and antioxidants including lutein and zeaxanthin that protect eye health. The natural sweetness of kumsda makes it beloved in Bengali cooking — used in mishti kumra diye dal, pumpkin bhaji, halwa, soup, and as a natural sweetener in breads and cakes. Low in calories and high in water content, pumpkin is ideal for weight management. The seeds are also edible and rich in zinc and healthy fats. A humble vegetable of extraordinary nutritional value.
