I read everything I can about the benefits of pumpkin flower dishes. There are no contraindications. I can’t eat! Associations either with a pate from nightingale tongues, or with the fact that this dish was invented out of poverty.

Pumpkin flowers contain all the nutrients, as well as pulp. Here is a list of diseases for which doctors recommend pumpkin flowers. In different forms, it can be tinctures or decoctions, but still they are recommended.

• Cholecystitis
• Gout
