There are now many different types, which can be prepared differently for tasting depending on the variety.<\/p>\n<p>I would therefore like to give you a brief overview of the best-known <strong>pumpkin varieties.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Curcubita<\/strong>, as the pumpkin genus is also known, is an annual plant that originally comes from America. It has now established itself worldwide as a tasty vegetable and a wide range of varieties have also been successfully cultivated in Germany for years.<\/p>\n<h3>Hokkaido<\/h3>\n<p>One of the best-known pumpkin varieties is the &#8220;<strong>Hokkaido<\/strong>&#8220;. Although it belongs to the genus of giant pumpkins, its size is limited. As its skin is very thin, this pumpkin is ideal for a wide variety of preparations: Cut into pieces and <strong>saut\u00e9ed in a pan, <\/strong>it can also be made into <strong>chutney<\/strong>. It is also suitable for preparing a<strong> tasty pumpkin soup<\/strong>, which can even be served in the pumpkin itself. The <strong>Hokkaido <\/strong>is a true all-rounder among edible pumpkins. It also usually contains nice large pumpkin seeds, which can be roasted and enjoyed as a snack side dish.<\/p>\n<h3>Giant centner<\/h3>\n<p>This giant pumpkin is best known as a carved <strong>&#8220;Halloween pumpkin&#8221;.<\/strong> The<strong> giant centner <\/strong>has rightly earned its name, as one specimen can weigh over 50 kg. Its yellow flesh tastes quite mild and is therefore ideal for <strong>pickling<\/strong>, as a <strong>soup<\/strong> or as<strong> pumpkin chutney.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Muscat melon<\/h3>\n<p>The colors of the nutmeg pumpkin can vary from light\/dark green to juicy orange to a light beige. The nutmeg pumpkin belongs to the genus of musk pumpkins and owes its name to its nutmeg-like aroma. Its flesh tastes slightly spicy and is ideal for a tasty <strong>pumpkin puree<\/strong>, as a <strong>soup <\/strong>or can also be used for <strong>desserts<\/strong>. Another advantage of the nutmeg pumpkin: it is <strong>low in calories and fat<\/strong> and can therefore be enjoyed without hesitation.<\/p>\n<h3>Butternut<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6148 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ernaehrung-beratung-muenchen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/k%C3%BCrbissuppe-ern%C3%A4hrungsberatung-schweitzer-m%C3%BCnchen-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Nutritional advice Munich Pumpkin soup\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">Another now well-known and popular pumpkin is the <strong>butternut<\/strong>. It also belongs to the musk pumpkin family and has a tasty, nutty aroma. Compared to the proportion of flesh, the pear pumpkin, as the butternut is often called due to its shape, has relatively few seeds. It can be cut into very thin slices and eaten <strong>raw in a salad<\/strong>, for example, while slightly thicker slices are ideal for a <strong>&#8220;pumpkin cutlet&#8221;<\/strong> in a pan or on the grill. <strong>Butternut <\/strong>can also be used to make a tasty <strong>puree <\/strong>or <strong>pumpkin soup.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Spaghetti squash<\/h3>\n<p>Not everyone is familiar with the <strong>spaghetti squash<\/strong> as a garden pumpkin, but once you&#8217;ve cooked it yourself, you&#8217;ll become a huge fan. This type of pumpkin is cooked whole and then cut in half. First remove the seeds with a fork and then carefully scrape out the flesh. This forms <strong>elongated, spaghetti-like strings<\/strong> that can even be rolled up with a fork &#8211; hence its name: spaghetti squash. A <strong>low-calorie alternative <\/strong>to the actual pasta dish and with a fine sauce it becomes a delicious &#8220;pumpkin pasta&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3>Zucchini<\/h3>\n<p>And who would have thought it? The <strong>zucchini <\/strong>is a subspecies of the garden pumpkin and thus belongs to the pumpkin family. The great thing about zucchinis is that they can be grown in the garden or are available in grocery stores all year round. Zucchinis can be prepared in many different ways: <strong>from raw to roasted, grilled, stuffed or even as zucchini spaghetti<\/strong> &#8211; there are no limits to creativity with zucchinis.<\/p>\n<h3>Pumpkin &#8211; healthy variety<\/h3>\n<p>There is a large selection of tasty pumpkins and a wide range of preparation options. Pumpkin not only tastes great, it also contains healthy ingredients such as <strong>vitamins <\/strong>from groups <strong>A, <\/strong><strong>C,<\/strong> <strong>D<\/strong> and <strong>E,<\/strong> <strong>zinc<\/strong>, <strong>calcium <\/strong>and <strong>potassium<\/strong>. The <strong>silica <\/strong>in the pulp is good for hair, nails and skin.<\/p>\n<p>The species listed here can be stored in cool places for several weeks to months. You can also freeze pieces of pumpkin or the finished soup and prepare it for future meals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can find a recipe for vegan pumpkin soup here:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-2azbbl-3f8bf561f6258e030d770356c4d5f03f-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-7  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><a href='https:\/\/www.ernaehrung-beratung-muenchen.de\/en\/vegan-recipe-for-pumpkin-soup\/'  class='avia-button av-2azbbl-3f8bf561f6258e030d770356c4d5f03f av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-right-icon avia-size-medium avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"Pumpkin recipe\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Pumpkin recipe<\/span><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_right avia-iconfont avia-font-my-mark2' data-av_icon='\uf1b1' data-av_iconfont='my-mark2' ><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><strong>Enjoy a golden fall and pumpkin season.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-70s4p7-b17e2b569738368d7d2c9a27aabfe202\">\n.flex_column.av-70s4p7-b17e2b569738368d7d2c9a27aabfe202{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-70s4p7-b17e2b569738368d7d2c9a27aabfe202 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_hr  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-9  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5gyqqj-eb708bc33f98266d0a63d4c34eef75de\">\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-5gyqqj-eb708bc33f98266d0a63d4c34eef75de{\nbackground-color:#4d95d0;\nborder-color:#4d95d0;\ncolor:#ffffff;\ntransition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-5gyqqj-eb708bc33f98266d0a63d4c34eef75de:hover{\nbackground-color:#f5a73b;\ncolor:#ffffff;\ntransition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-5gyqqj-eb708bc33f98266d0a63d4c34eef75de .avia-svg-icon svg:first-child{\nfill:#ffffff;\nstroke:#ffffff;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-5gyqqj-eb708bc33f98266d0a63d4c34eef75de:hover .avia-svg-icon svg:first-child{\nfill:#ffffff;\nstroke:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<a href='https:\/\/www.ernaehrung-beratung-muenchen.de\/en\/contact\/' class='avia-button avia-button-fullwidth av-5gyqqj-eb708bc33f98266d0a63d4c34eef75de avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-color-custom'   aria-label=\"Would you like to find out more about optimal nutrition?\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue83b' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Would you like to find out more about optimal nutrition?<\/span><div class='av-button-description av-button-description-below'><p>Nutritional advice in Munich can help!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3vgp4r-7b290df8009316dd94490db1c6663d66\">\n#top .hr.av-3vgp4r-7b290df8009316dd94490db1c6663d66{\nmargin-top:25px;\nmargin-bottom:25px;\n}\n.hr.av-3vgp4r-7b290df8009316dd94490db1c6663d66 .hr-inner{\nwidth:47%;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-3vgp4r-7b290df8009316dd94490db1c6663d66 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue8b8' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fall is pumpkin time!
