Is Canned Pumpkin Nutritious?

• Many of us only consume pumpkin during the Fall, Winter and Holidays.  But it was a staple in Native Americans’ and Early Colonists’ diets. It has always had a place in American diets.
• Canned pumpkin gives you the freedom to enjoy the health benefits associated with pumpkin flesh without having to go through the lengthy process of selecting, baking and pureeing the pumpkin.
• Canned pumpkin has 82 calories per cup , making it low in calories. But it has vitamins, fiber, and minerals, resulting in lots of nutritional value.
