Yes, the 10 pound jack-o-lantern sitting on your front porch is edible, but leave it for the squirrels. Carving pumpkins are stringy and bland when cooked. Instead, look for smaller "sugar" or "pie" pumpkin varieties. Favorite breeds include Autumn Gold, Baby Pam, and Long Island Cheese Pumpkin. - Margaret Moses, RD.

While nearly every spice manufacturer produces a pumpkin spice these days, the blends can vary widely. Homemade pumpkin spice is easy to make! - Margaret Moses, RD.

Pumpkins get their orange glow from carotenoids, which are compounds including beta carotene and lutein that bring serious nutrition to the table. Beta carotene may help keep your brain sharp and is associated with lower rates of Alzheimer's disease. Lutein promotes eye health and is linked to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. Canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) is a convenient way to eat pumpkin. Stir it into your oatmeal, soups, and baked goods! - Margaret Moses, RD.

Margaret Moses, Nutritionist, is reading "Ultra-Processed People" by Chris Van Tulleken. Learn how processed foods can interfere with our ability to regulate blood sugar and weight and why we can't stop eating it.

Celsius is an energy drink popular with high school students and young adults. The company claims that the beverage provides essential energy, accelerates metabolism, and helps you burn fat. The truth is, it contains stimulants in addition to caffeine that can result in elevated blood pressure, stomach aches, and difficulty sleeping. The beverage also contains sugar substitutes that can affect blood sugar and regulation of body weight. - Margaret Moses, RD.

Sea plants, especially kelp are predicted to be on trend for 2023. Kelp can help absorb carbon in the atmosphere and doesn't require fresh water or added nutrients, 2 major wins in the age of climate consciousness. Additionally, kelp is a good source of iron, vitamin K, iodine, magnesium, and fiber. Look for kelp chips and kelp noodles at a store near you! - Margaret Moses, RD.
