Tips for Using Canned Pumpkin

When you make your everyday favorites by adding
canned pumpkin, not only do you add the delicious taste

of pumpkin, but fiber and vitamin A too. Adding pumpkin
also helps to reduce the fat and sodium content in your
recipes.
Store leftover pumpkin in a sealed plastic container for 1
week in the refrigerator, and up to 3 months in the freezer.
When freezing, make sure that the pumpkin does not go
right to the top of the container because it may expand
when frozen. The pumpkin may have a separated
appearance when thawed, but this will not affect your
recipe.
Tips about Juice



Drinking or cooking with 100% juice is a convenient way
to help meet your daily recommended amount of fruits
and vegetables. One 4 oz glass of 100% juice is ½ cup of
the 4½ cups of fruits and vegetables recommended daily
on a 2000-calorie diet.
There are no added sugars in 100% juice—just the natural
sugars found in whole fruit.
According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines, two nutrientdense beverages stand out as providing “a substantial
amount of nutrients along with the calories they contain:”
fat-free/low-fat milk and 100% fruit juice.
