[Dotultimate]

Can someone please tell me the carb content of pumpkin.. and the fiber?

I have avoided it for a year thinking it was as carby as potatos... but apparently I CAN eat it???

I'm SO CONFUSED!!!

Re: Pumpkin??

if you are planning to buy it in the can, just look at the label. i'm not the one to ask for exact numbers...look in you DANDR for raw pumpkin info. sorry i can't be more help.

Pumpkin in a can???? Since when did pumkin come in a can? Thats got to be some kind of US thing.... here we just get pumkins... around 10 types... but all in need of cooking!

Re: Pumpkin??

Yep, it must be a US thing! Here if we feel like pumpkin in April, we just go to the local market and pick up a can of Libby's!

Anyway here is the info:

1/2 c. pumpkin 9.9 carbs, 3.6 fiber = 6.3 net carbs

Re: Pumpkin??

Unfortunately pumpkin does not seem to be sold in UK in a can - not even the stuff with added sugar is, let alone the plain variety which would be induction-legal.
We have to make do with rinsing the 'light syrup' off tinned rhubarb instead and hoping it isnt too carby!

Re: Pumpkin??

We don't have pumkin in a can, but we have an overabundance of REAL pumkin...

So one cup of REAL pumpkin cubes is what... 10 net carbs?

Re: Pumpkin??

According to fitday, one cup of cubed raw pumpkin has about 7 net carbs - a good way of getting 'most of your net 20 carbs' from vegetables.

Re: Pumpkin??

I have never seen pumpkin in a can either ( being an aussie like Dot ) However -- it will be here pretty soon no doubt --- I SAW CHEESE IN A SPRAY CAN IN THE SUPERMARKET TODAY! ( cheese wiz?)

I get butternut pumpking DOT and cook that up, mash it with pepper and butter -- yumm - -also make it into pumpkin soup .

Rhubarb is great stewed up with some splenda with whipped cream for dessert -- i used to live on fruit so this really hits the spot ( even though it is a VEGE!)

Remember, Butternut squash


is not a summer squash so is on the second (higher) veggies OWL rung.
