About Product

Pumpkins were essential to the Aztec and Mayan diets thousands of years ago. And early Native Americans pumpkin flesh to help them survive the long winters. They also ate pumpkin seeds and used them as medicine. And when pilgrims came to America, pumpkin became a critical and nutritious food for them as well. Without pumpkins, many of the early settlers might not have survived. One of the first American folk has these lyrics: “We have pumpkins at morning and pumpkins at noon; If it was not for pumpkins we should be undone.”   Pumpkin can be used in many ways. One easy way is to add pumpkin puree to oatmeal, along with spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom.  You can also make pumpkin puddings, soups, and curries. And then, of course, there’s pumpkin pies, pumpkin spice lattes, and pumpkin pancakes.
