What it is
Organic pumpkin is a variety of winter squash that grows on a vine. It is typically round with smooth, slightly ribbed skin, and is a deep yellow to orange color. Pumpkins are harvested in the fall and are often used for culinary purposes, though they are also carved for decoration.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic pumpkin as a flavorful ingredient, often for its distinct taste and color. It is commonly found in baked goods like pies and muffins, as well as in savory dishes such as soups and pasta sauces. Its natural sweetness and texture also make it suitable for smoothies and breakfast items.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated pumpkin and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming pumpkin in typical dietary amounts.
