It is a staple in American kitchens, particularly during the fall season. The puree has a naturally sweet and earthy flavor with a hint of nuttiness, reminiscent of roasted squash. Its texture is velvety and dense, offering a rich mouthfeel that is neither too watery nor overly thick. In cooking, canned pumpkin puree is versatile and holds its shape well, making it ideal for both sweet and savory dishes. It adds moisture and natural sweetness to baked goods and can thicken soups and sauces without adding excess fat.
