About Pumpkin pulp

Pumpkin pulp is the soft inner flesh of a pumpkin, separated from the rind and seeds. Depending on the preparation, it may be raw and cut or cooked until soft; cooked pulp can be mashed or blended into a smooth, moist purée. Its colour ranges from yellow to orange, and its flavour is mild, earthy and gently sweet.

It is used in both sweet and savoury cooking, as an ingredient in baked goods, soups and other mixtures. Fresh cooked pulp and canned pumpkin purée are related but not necessarily interchangeable: pumpkin type, cooking and straining affect moisture, texture and concentration.
