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.
