    I've heard you and others mention this so-called pumpkin shortage of 2009, I never noticed anything. We had tones of pumpkins here in Toronto, actually I noticed the cost of a pumpkin before Halloween went up by about $1 this year so I would have thought this year’s crop wasn't so good. Anyway, guess that depends on where you are from and your profile didn't say.

    why canned!??? fresh is so much more awesome & healthy!

    Canned has more fiber though. It does have more sugar but not significantly and when you think about the effort of cleaning and cooking a pumpkin + energy being waisted with the stove and the fact that a can is the same cost as a pumpkin, might as well go for what’s easier.

    That being said, I've never cooked with a pumpkin, I only eat their seeds.

    Facts:
    Canned pumpkin (w/o salt): 83 cal, 0.7 fat, 7.1 fibre, 8g sugar
    Fresh pumpkin: 30 cals, 0.1 fat, 0.6 fibre, 1.6 sugar.

    * Both are for one cup

    i dont know... i feel that things that have been canned cannot possibly have the same amount of nutrients... but i believe in cooking pretty much everything from scratch

    I'm not getting the BUMP thing. Are you talking about saving up calories so you can "spend" them on these recipes?
