Brits Discover American Pumpkin Bread for the first time!

Описание: This brand completely ruined pumpkin for us… so today we’re finally fixing it 🇺🇸🧡

We once tried a “fake American” canned pumpkin and it was SO bad it put us off pumpkin spice for ages. Then YOU told us the truth: it wasn’t even American! So today, this little British family (David, Nakita, Elana & baby Alissa) is giving pumpkin a proper second chance — using Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin to make REAL American pumpkin bread, baked right here in our UK kitchen.

🎃 What Pumpkin Bread Really Is

Pumpkin bread is one of America’s coziest autumn bakes — a soft, sweet “quick bread” similar to banana bread but infused with warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and allspice. Moist, tender, lightly sweet and perfect with coffee.

It appeared in American cookbooks as early as the 1800s and became a Fall/Thanksgiving staple. Today it's everywhere from home kitchens to cafés — especially Starbucks, whose Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf helped make it famous worldwide.

🥫 Why Americans Trust Libby’s

Libby’s began in Chicago in the late 1800s and became the pumpkin brand after buying the Dickinson pumpkin farms in Illinois.

• Uses a special pumpkin variety — the Dickinson pumpkin
• Naturally sweet, creamy, dense (nothing like carving pumpkins)
• 80–90% of the world’s canned pumpkin comes from Morton, Illinois, the “Pumpkin Capital of the World”
• Consistently ranked #1 for baking because of its flavour, colour and smoothness

If Americans bake pumpkin bread, pie or cake… chances are they’re using Libby’s. So that’s what we’re using today to discover pumpkin properly.
