Is pumpkin a fruit or a vegetable?

Were you aware that tomatoes are considered a fruit? so are eggplants? Botanists consider any product bearing seeds as a fruit, making pumpkin a fruit, technically. However, due to their less sweet and more savoury nature, we laymen tend to categorize them as vegetables. On the other hand, a botanist classifies them solely based on their anatomy.

I often get asked—Why do I call it oatmeal? Is oatmeal the same as oats?

Are oats and oatmeal the same?

"Oats" refer to the whole grain or seed of the oat plant, which can be processed in various forms like steel-cut, rolled, or instant oats.

"Oatmeal," on the other hand, typically refers to a dish made from oats that have been cooked with water or milk. In many places, "oatmeal" also refers to the ground or processed form of oats used to make the dish.

So, oats are the raw ingredient, while oatmeal is what you usually end up with on your breakfast table!

Can we have oats on a low-carb diet?

Short answer, Yes!

Even during my low-carb eating days, I do include oats, it never hurt. The key is moderation and the secret would be to know how much is too much or just right, which only your stomach can tell and maybe your dietitian. For my bowl of oats, I stick to ⅓ or ½ cup of rolled oats but never more than that. It may look too little to satisfy your hunger but once you load it up with other ingredients that are fat-rich, you will feel satiated.

How to make Pumpkin pie Oatmeal?

Making pumpkin pie oatmeal is as easy as just adding pumpkin butter and cream to the bowl of prepared oats. 🙂

  1. Boil and cook oats with water
  2. Stir in butter and cream
