Birth of Pumpkin Spice (A Dash of Info)

Send us Fan Mail Every autumn, pumpkin spice seems to take over—lattes, candles, cereals, even dog treats. But this cozy, spiced flavor didn’t appear out of nowhere. In this episode, we trace pumpkin spice back to its roots in colonial kitchens, where cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves were prized imports from Asia and mixed into early pumpkin pies. We’ll follow its rise through the 20th century with pre-mixed “pumpkin pie spice,” and then watch as Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte transformed it into a cultural phenomenon. From history to marketing, nostalgia to sensory psychology, we’ll explore how a humble pie flavor became the ultimate symbol of fall in America. Thank You for listening and Stay curious,Kat & WilliamEmail  [email protected] you would like to support Info On The Go click the link belowhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2434258/support Follow us wherever you listen to podcasts and leave us a review.Follow us on Facebook at Info on the Go!https://www.facebook.com/share/g/159DdiptQh/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://infoonthego.buzzsprout.com Being Me Is the Best Thing to Be by Judy Erb tells the story of Honey, a curious little turtle who learns that being herself is the very best thing to be.
