It’s time to squash the rumors for good.
Is canned pumpkin a lie?
Even though a label may read “100% pumpkin,” some argue this isn’t quite the case. It’s debated that there may be something other than just pumpkin in the can — and we’re not talking about ingredients to enhance its taste and texture. While you may be imagining that canned pumpkin is made from a Halloween-shaped pumpkin, it’s rumored that your canned pumpkin may actually contain something more akin to butternut squash. So what’s really in there?
There is actually pumpkin in canned pumpkin.
Yes, there is pumpkin in canned pumpkin. But there’s also squash. Why? Because all pumpkins are squash.
