Pumpkin butter is a sweet, spiced spread made by simmering pureed pumpkin or squash with sugar, spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, and sometimes apple cider or lemon juice for added flavor. Originating from American cuisine, it reflects the seasonal flavors of autumn and has ties to colonial-era food preservation methods. Naturally rich in beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant from pumpkins, it also provides small amounts of vitamins A and E. However, pumpkin butter is often sweetened with sugar, which can increase its calorie content, so moderation is recommended. Unlike traditional butter, it contains no dairy, making it a vegan-friendly option for spreading on toast, stirring into yogurt, or as a topping for oatmeal. While not a significant source of protein or fiber, its warm flavor and creamy texture make it a popular seasonal treat.
