Organic Pumpkin Puree

Organic pumpkin puree is made from pumpkins that are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The pumpkins are cooked, then pureed until smooth. It is a thick, orange-colored paste.

Manufacturers use organic pumpkin puree as a natural source of sweetness, color, and moisture in foods. It adds a mild, earthy flavor and a smooth texture. It is commonly found in baby foods, baked goods, yogurts, and snacks.

Organic pumpkin puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of vitamins and fiber. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated pumpkin and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
