Origin
Pumpkin puree is made from the flesh of pumpkins, which are native to North America. Pumpkins have been cultivated for thousands of years and were originally grown by indigenous peoples in what is now Mexico and the United States. They were an important food source for these early civilizations and were eventually introduced to Europe by explorers in the 16th century. Today, pumpkin puree is commonly used in a variety of dishes and desserts in many different cuisines around the world.
