About Pumpkin pie slice

Pumpkin pie is a classic dessert originating in North America, commonly associated with fall festivities such as Thanksgiving. Its filling combines pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, and warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, baked in a flour-based crust. Nutritionally, a slice of pumpkin pie provides a mix of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is a source of vitamin A due to the pumpkin content, and contains smaller amounts of vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium. However, the pie may also be high in added sugars and saturated fats, depending on preparation methods.

Health Benefits

• High in vitamin A—one slice can provide over 100% of the recommended daily intake, supporting vision and immune health.
• Contains potassium, which helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels and proper muscle function.
• Provides dietary fiber from pumpkin and pie crust, which supports digestive health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten (from crust), eggs, dairy (from milk or cream), soy (if used in crust or filling)

Suitable for: Vegetarian diets (if dairy and eggs are accepted)

Not suitable for: Vegan diets, gluten-free diets (unless crust is made gluten-free), dairy-free diets, egg-free diets

Selection and Storage

Store pumpkin pie in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days for optimal freshness. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or use an airtight container to prevent drying out.

Common Questions About Pumpkin pie slice Nutrition

How many calories and nutrients are in a slice of pumpkin pie?

A typical slice of pumpkin pie (about 1/8 of a 9-inch pie) contains around 300-320 calories, 4-5 grams of protein, 12-15 grams of fat, and 40-45 grams of carbohydrates. It’s also a good source of Vitamin A, providing over 200% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI), thanks to the pumpkin’s beta-carotene content.

Can I eat pumpkin pie on a keto diet?

Traditional pumpkin pie is not typically keto-friendly due to its high carbohydrate content, primarily from added sugar and the crust, with around 40-45 grams of carbs per slice. However, keto-friendly recipes using sugar substitutes and almond flour crusts are available and can reduce the carb count significantly.

What are the health benefits or concerns of eating pumpkin pie?

Pumpkin pie can provide health benefits due to its high Vitamin A and antioxidant content, which supports eye health and the immune system. However, it’s often high in sugar and saturated fat, which can be a concern when consumed in large amounts or for people monitoring their sugar or cholesterol intake.

What is a recommended portion size for pumpkin pie?

A reasonable portion size is one slice (about 1/8 of a 9-inch pie). It provides a balance between enjoying a treat and keeping calorie and sugar intake in check. Pair it with a protein-based snack or meal to slow sugar absorption.

How does pumpkin pie compare to sweet potato pie?

Pumpkin pie typically has fewer calories and carbohydrates per slice compared to sweet potato pie, as pumpkins are less starchy than sweet potatoes. However, the nutritional difference often depends more on the recipe, including the type and amount of sugar and fat used in preparation.
