Ok I get it! I have been living in New England and Pumpkin Pie is favored over Sweet Potato Pie
in most of the North East.
I figured it out- one is SWEET and the other is Not So Sweet.
All my friends and cousins that can bake prefer the Sweet Potato Pie over the Pumpkin Pie and say I am no Cook. OK
I am not even a foodie anymore. I promise to stop being a foodie, and become an advocate for people having food to eat instead. Margo the foodie is done.
So in the spirit of having food to eat- if you only have for a can of Libby's Pumpkin Pie mix and a couple of premixed ready- to -use pie crusts ... can we all agree that food is fuel?
A side by side comparison of the nutritional value of Pumpkin Pie vs Sweet Potato Pie
Pumpkin Pie from the can
including what the FDA requires on labels should be a good place to start except the pumpkin pie haters tell me that they do not use sweet potatoes from a can ... They cook actual sweet potatoes and puree them and start about 2 days ahead... Well if you go to that level of course your pie will taste amazing...
This is what the FDA requires on the label:
vitamin A
vitamin C
calcium
and iron.
Once you add the butter
and sugar like it says on the label...
it is not diabetic friendly, but it is pie- see the video
In both the pumpkin pie and sweet potatoe pie
The spices are 0 calories
in the red/yellow family of spices :
cinnamon
nutmeg
ginger
cloves
allspice
Usually brown sugar and/or white sugar are added
The evaporated milk should be from a BPA free can
The crust should be relatively free of preservatives
like sodium benzoate.
But if you do not read the Labels - your quick pie
may taste like it is full of preservatives since it is
not from scratch the way your ancestors had to do it
For the health conscious - the Doctor Approved version of Pumpkin Pie requires you making it from scratch to control the level of fat, sugar and non organic preservatives and sources
