Why we all love Pumpkin Spice in Autumn
Autumn not only brings colorful leaves, cozy evenings, and pumpkins in all varieties – it also brings back the season's most popular spice trend: Pumpkin Spice.
The blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice has long been more than just a seasoning. It represents autumnal warmth, coziness, and that special moment of enjoyment when temperatures drop outside and a hot drink awaits indoors.
At Madevegan, you'll find a selection of vegan products that perfectly complement pumpkin spice – from aromatic teas to plant-based milk alternatives.
What exactly is Pumpkin Spice? 🎃
"Pumpkin Spice" is often equated with pumpkin, but the classic blend doesn't contain any pumpkin at all. Rather, it's an autumnal spice blend originally used for American Pumpkin Pie.
Today, we know Pumpkin Spice primarily through the famous Pumpkin Spice Latte, which is celebrated anew every year as the epitome of autumn. In vegan cuisine, however, Pumpkin Spice can be used in many more versatile ways:
- to refine porridge or overnight oats
- in smoothies or hot drinks
- in vegan baked goods and desserts
- even in savory dishes with pumpkin or sweet potato
