When it comes to holiday shortcuts, canned pumpkin is not only super convenient, but it's also a quality product that offers a big bang for the buck.

With little more than the twist of a can opener, this gluten-free puree delivers tons of health benefits with a healthy dose of vitamin A (300% of the recommended daily dosage in just a half-cup!) and 5 grams of dietary fiber, with zero grams of added sugar and half a gram of fat.

It might make you wonder why you don't incorporate canned pumpkin into dishes all year long. With more than 50 recipes ranging from savory to sweet (and even sippable!), we can just about guarantee you'll be serving up canned pumpkin well beyond Thanksgiving. You can even make your own pumpkin puree.
