About Reeses pumpkin
Reese's Pumpkin is a seasonal variation of the iconic Reese’s peanut butter cup, shaped like a pumpkin and popular in the United States during the fall, especially around Halloween. This processed confection combines a creamy peanut butter filling with a milk chocolate coating. Each Reese's Pumpkin contains approximately 90-110 calories, 5-6 grams of fat, 2-3 grams of protein, and around 8 grams of sugar, depending on its size. While it offers a quick carbohydrate boost, it is low in essential vitamins and minerals, and high in sugars and saturated fats. It should be consumed as an occasional treat rather than a regular dietary staple.
Health Benefits
- Provides a small amount of protein (2-3 grams per serving) due to the peanut butter content.
- Contains small levels of magnesium and phosphorus from the peanuts, which support bone health.
- Offers fast-acting energy from simple carbohydrates, which can be useful for immediate energy needs.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting. Best consumed before the expiration date for optimal taste and quality.
