Pumpkin Pie from Libby's canned pumpkin

[Anonymous]

For some reason, Libby's ORGANIC pumpkin has no grit. Don't know why this is so, but that's the fact. It's definitely worth the extra money to get a sand-free product -- the way it was in the "good old days." The way to check for sand and grit (before actually using the puree for baking) is to dip a teaspoonful from the middle of the can and put it in your mouth. You will know right off the bat if the product is good or has been contaminated. As far as I can tell, all of Libby's regular, non-organic pumpkin puree is gritty and inedible.
