According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, canned "pumpkin" can be made from field pumpkin or certain varieties of golden-fleshed, sweet squash, or a mix of both. This means the canned pumpkin you use for pie isn't always the large, orange gourd you carve on Halloween, which is exactly why the question, 'is canned pumpkin real pumpkin?', has such a complex answer.

Did you know that over 75% of the canned pumpkin sold in the U.S. comes from Libby's facility in Morton, Illinois? When asking what are the ingredients in Libby's pumpkin, the answer depends entirely on whether you're holding a can of their 100% Pure Pumpkin or the pre-spiced Easy Pumpkin Pie Mix.
