"But when it comes to baking pumpkin bread, pancakes, and, of course, classic pumpkin pie, there's a particular brand of pumpkin puree Ina Garten recommends: Libby's. According to her website, Garten's go-to canned pumpkin puree brand is listed among other tried-and-true store-bought grocery store products like Hellman's mayo, Lindt chocolate, and San Marzano tomatoes. And it's likely due to Libby's pumpkin puree's quality ingredients and smooth, creamy texture, which is key when making any homemade seasonal pumpkin treat."
"Among her reasons is that the pumpkin used for pumpkin puree is a different kind than the pumpkins used for carving. For instance, Libby's uses a proprietary kind called Dickinson, which is specifically grown in Morton, Illinois. While you could cook a smaller sugar pumpkin for your Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, Garten recommends going with a quality store-bought brand for the job, which is a much welcome time and effort-saver over the holidays."
Libby's canned pumpkin puree is a long-established baking staple prized for its smooth, creamy texture and single-ingredient composition of pumpkin only. The puree is made from a proprietary Dickinson pumpkin grown in Morton, Illinois, rather than carving pumpkins, yielding a consistent texture suited to pies, breads, and pancakes. The canned product is labeled 100% pure with no added preservatives or flavorings and is promoted as a time-saving, convenient alternative to roasting small sugar pumpkins. The brand is linked to sustainable growing practices and is commonly ranked highly among store-bought pumpkin purees.
