Little “Bite” of History

  • Libby started processing pumpkin in 1929. They use their own strain of “Dickinson” pumpkin exclusively for the solid pack pumpkin. This variety is smaller and sweeter than standard “jack o’lantern” type pumpkins.
  • When processing the pumpkin puree, LIBBY does not add anything to the solid pack pumpkin and some of the water is removed to concentrate the pumpkin to yield a rich, creamy texture and fresh flavor.
