Pumpkin Paste

Pumpkin Paste

EverydayCooked

Pumpkin paste is a thick, concentrated preparation made by slow-cooking puréed pumpkin to reduce moisture and intensify its natural sweetness. This dense, velvety-textured product retains pumpkin’s hallmark beta-carotene content, providing a substantial source of vitamin A in smaller serving sizes compared to fresh pumpkin. While commonly used as a base for pies and desserts, its rich flavor profile also enhances savory dishes like soups and stews, though its reduced water content requires adjusting liquid ratios in recipes.
