Pumpkin pie is a cherished dessert rooted in American cuisine, often associated with autumn and Thanksgiving celebrations. It features a creamy filling made primarily from pureed pumpkin, eggs, sugar, and a mix of warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, all nestled in a flaky pie crust. Pumpkin itself is rich in vitamins A and C, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, which support eye health and immune function. However, traditional pumpkin pie recipes can be high in sugar, refined carbs, and saturated fats due to added sweeteners and butter in the crust. For a healthier twist, some opt for reduced sugar or whole-grain crust alternatives. Pumpkin pie is both a comforting seasonal favorite and a way to enjoy nutrient-packed pumpkin with moderation in mind.
