What it is
This is pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. It is made from 100% pumpkin and has a thick, dense texture. The pumpkin is cooked and then processed into a smooth consistency. It is a versatile ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes. The can contains a substantial amount of pumpkin, suitable for multiple uses.
How people cook with it

- Making muffins
- Creating soups
- Adding to smoothies
When baking, you can directly incorporate this pumpkin puree into your batters and doughs. It adds moisture and a distinct flavor to cakes, breads, and cookies. For savory applications, it can be blended into soups and stews to create a creamy texture and add a subtle sweetness. It is also a good base for pumpkin-flavored dips or spreads. Ensure it is fully incorporated for an even distribution of flavor and texture in your final dish.
