Description

Canned thick pumpkin is a versatile and practical ingredient obtained from cooked and mashed pumpkin pulp, canned for extended use. It is characterized by its creamy and dense texture, ideal for preparing a wide variety of recipes, from soups and purées to desserts like pies and tarts.

Its origin lies in the pumpkin, a vegetable from the cucurbit family, primarily cultivated in the Americas, with great popularity in the United States and Mexico, although its consumption and production have spread worldwide.

Among its properties, its high content of dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and minerals like potassium stand out, which contribute to maintaining good visual health, aiding digestion, and strengthening the immune system.

In different regions of Hispanic America, canned pumpkin may also be known as pumpkin purée, canned mashed squash, or canned pumpkin paste, terms that refer to its processed and ready-to-use form in the kitchen.
