Pumpkin product overview

Pumpkin ingredients are used to add body, mild sweetness, and a warm orange color to finished products. Purees are commonly selected for authentic texture and “real vegetable” labeling, while concentrates and powders can support efficient shipping, dry handling, and consistent dosing. Frozen formats help protect seasonal quality for year-round manufacturing.
