Farmer's Market Canned Organic Butternut Squash Puree, 15 Oz (Pack of 12)

Love this brand, I am totally in love with their pumpkin (can eat direct from can, they use an extra sweet tasting pumpkin it seems), and so when I was looking to add squash to my pantry I went directly to this company. A bit pricy, but I wanted something I knew I would enjoy. I like it warmed up paired with other veggies, I like using it as a "sauce" for pasta, or adding it into soups (for added fiber, nutrients), as the star of the soup (ie squash soup), or even added to chili. LOVE with lentils. I have used it to bulk up my smoothies with fiber. I have added a little to oats. Basically use it same way as pumpkin. Light, sweet taste. Is it a replacement for cooking up some fresh winter squash (in this instance, butternut squash)? No. Just as canned green beans aren't the same as from the garden green beans. But they have their purpose (and not a fair comparison). Is it good as a convenience item (and healthy item to add to other foods stuffs)? YES. It is better or same as frozen bricks? yes/maybe. That's personal taste preference. I find this brand much easier to eat, has a smoother taste and naturally more sweet. I will grab for this many times over before the bricks (and I like the bricks ok enough). Looking at some of the reviews, I want to add: --It's a puree, folks. Butternut puree. That means its smooth. Nothing added. --also, Its ORGANIC. --Packed in BPA free can. --A dented can isnt dangerous. Govt sites, and food sites will say this. Only one to be concerned over is tomatoes, and only if can appears breached. A little dent is fine, but better to use it sooner over later. But you do you. Overall, I prefer non dented cans and would easily down rate based on that. Mine are all fine, thankfully -- best to sort reviews by "most recent" as that will give you more relevant info on the batch you are getting. Reading something from 2018, and it is mid 2022? Likely irrelevant. --I personally dont taste the can. I am actually sitting here shoveling some into my mouth direct from can. It tastes like butternut squash. --Acquired 04/2022 with expiry date of 01/2023. A lot of products a little short on best by dates. However this is reasonable, and I will likely have gone through this well before then. Also, stuff lasts in cans way longer than a date stamped on it.

The canned squash is very convenient. It tastes fresh and makes enjoying squash easy. I don't know why it is not available in stores.

Y'all, this arrived yesterday in pristine condition. I already know how much I like the taste, but given the reviews wanted to assure you the dozen cans were contained in box with an inner cardboard base with a tight plastic seal over the cans. They couldn't bang around. The cans are dated early next summer, and I'll have no problem finishing them by then. Yes, it's a little spendy, but in my situation it's worth it. I was really on the fence about ordering due to the problems folks are having with serious dents. I hope your experience will be like mine.

I use squash when I make dog food. Love the ease of opening a can! Also love that it's organic.

I got these for making squash soup, but they aren't as tasty as some squash I've had. Convenient though, and I just add more spices. One third of my cans were dented too! The vendor needs to re-think the packaging. I see this is a known problem so I hope they will fix it!

Great taste, primarily used to make squash rolls and they come out great. You can actually use this product to make a pumpkin pie as well. Great even consistency and creamy taste. Good value too.

My dog has a sensitive tummy, like a lot of pitties do. This helps her poop. She loves it. My son not so much because he is the designated poop picker upper. Don't give too much to your dog though because it gets a little difficult to pick up.

Full of vitamins, easy to prepare and versatile. If I want a sweeter taste, I add a bit of brown sugar. It’s an unusual Covid year and we’ve stocked up on pantry supplies to save freezer space. Great as a side vegetable, full of vitamins. Low-fat, low calorie. Perfect for our needs.
