Whole Grain, Pumpkin & Sweet Corn





Pumpkin
The nutrients found in pumpkin are vitamin A, C and both alpha and beta carotene, the latter of which generates vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is a vitamin that is needed by the retina of the eye in the form of a specific metabolite, the light-absorbing molecule retinal, that is absolutely necessary for both low-light and colour vision.
Sweet Corn
Sweet corns are rich in Vitamin B, C, iron, magnesium and potassium. Cooked sweet corn has significant antioxidant activity, which has been suggested to reduce the chance of heart disease and cancer.  Cooked sweet corn also releases increased levels of ferulic acid, which provides health benefits, such as battling cancer.
Flavour
Pumpkin and sweet corn are chosen to add some combined flavour and nutrition to the multi grain soup. (Brown rice, millet and other whole grain) Fresh milk or honey can be added according to preference.
