5 Pumpkin Spice Items You Never Knew Existed

Miki Kawasaki · October 5, 2019 ·

FreshDirect Pumpkin Spice Fall
Do you remember the time before fall meant the arrival of pumpkin spice everything? We do, and we’re not quite sure how we ever got by without that gourd-geously sweet flavor and those soul-warming spices gracing the better part of our autumn eating itinerary. But the food gods are kind and now there’s a glut of pumpkin-packing treats. So many, in fact, that trying to keep up makes our jack-o-lantern heads spin.

So we sought out the coolest pumpkin spice products in the patch, the ones that made us stop in our tracks and say “you can put pumpkin in that?!” Check out our top picks below.

You can shop all of them here on FreshDirect. Just bear in mind that supplies may be limited depending on how big this season’s pumpkin spice pandemonium is.


Califia-Pumpkin-Spice-Cold-Brew

Califia Pumpkin Spice Latte Cold Brew

OK, so this might be another version of your PSL. But it comes in a bottle. That you can keep in your fridge. For all those must have pumpkin spice now!!! emergencies. Plus, it’s made with Califia’s delightful fair-trade coffee and extremely delicious AlmondMilk (hello, dairy-free). And you don’t have to wait in line for it at a coffee shop where they always misspell your name.


Pumpkin Granola

Purely Elizabeth Pumpkin Cinnamon Ancient Grain Granola

This granola brings together pumpkin seeds with amaranth, quinoa, and chia, for a breakfast or snack time treat that has the perfect crunchy texture and lots of autumnal flavor. Layer it with pumpkin yogurt (see below) and some slices of apple or pear, and you’ve got an appropriately seasonal parfait that’ll give you all the fall feels. Bonus: it’s gluten-free!


Chobani Pumpkin Spice Blended Low-Fat Greek Yogurt

Dreamily creamy Greek yogurt meets the flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg? We’re already grabbing our spoons. Pair it with pumpkin granola and you’ve got the most delicious pumpkin-on-pumpkin action you’ll ever come by.


Simple_Mills_Pumpkin_Bread

Just FreshDirect Pumpkin Pie Spice

Yep, this little container of magic will add big pumpkin spice energy to anything. Like baked goods, creamy soups, roasted veggies, and plenty more. Keep it in your cupboard and you’ll always have a fix for any pumpkin spice cravings in reach.


Downeast-Pumpkin-Hard-Cider

Downeast Cider House Pumpkin Blend

Already tried every pumpkin beer out there? This year, mix things up with some hard pumpkin cider. Apples, pumpkin, and chai spices—it’s basically the most fall-tastic drink of them all.

Summer calls for seafood. A shrimp & clam boil may be the perfect way to celebrate the season. A boil featuring fresh shellfish is a super easy way to enjoy all your favs in one dish. 

Here’s how it’s done: 
Cut an onion into quarters. Halve a head of garlic horizontally. Add 1 1/2 inches of water to a stock pot, followed by onion, garlic, 2 bay leaves, and 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning. Bring to a boil on the stove. Once boiling, add one bag of whole, small potatoes (such as Blushing Belle). Let cook a couple minutes. In the meantime, cut 2 andouille sausages (or more, if you like) into 1 1/2-inch pieces, then add to boiling pot. Cut 4 ears corn into smaller segments and add to pot. Continue to boil for another 5 minutes. Gather 2 lb shrimp (preferably shell-on), 1 dozen clams and 1 lb mussels. Toss seafood with a few drizzles of neutral oil and 1 tbsp Old Bay. Add to pot, cover, and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest 1 minute before transferring to a platter for serving. Season with more Old Bay, if you like.
