The canned pumpkin sold for pumpkin pies is not what most would ever envision. They are a special cultivar developed for canning for canneries and are shaped more like an oblong watermelon. The link above provides a lot of interesting information on a nutrient dense food.

Pumpkin is truly a superfood. Unlike many nutritionally-dense foods, it is so filling that it's really hard to pig out on. The seeds, flowers and flesh are all tasty and good for you. And it's so much easier to carve than a turnip.

If I can find a small pumpkin next month, perhaps I will buy it and try different recipes. It is in the squash family and I adore squash and I enjoy pumpkin seeds. So that is the beginning.

I have had pumpkin pie and suspect that it was prepared with canned pumpkin.
