What does this recipe give us?

Pumpkin helps regulate blood glucose and is highly rich in carotenoids. Glycemic control is essential in eye diseases, especially in diabetic patients. Carotenes, once metabolized, become vitamin A, so they help us prevent swelling of the Eyelids and reduced vision, as well as ulcers on the cornea, dry eye syndrome, the macular degeneration y the cataracts.

Coconut butter, which does not burn when heated, does not generate the toxins characteristic of this process, which other types of butter do.
