Pumpkin pips and peel chutney – taste from waste!
My mom always made a yummy spicy chutney with the peel, pips and fibre of the regular yellow pumpkin. It was a treat to mix it with steaming hot rice and gobble up.

Pumpkin seeds are now touted as superfoods. Next time you buy pumpkin don't throw away the skin, inner fibre and seeds.
