What it is
Organic pumpkin protein is derived from roasted pumpkin seeds. The seeds are typically pressed to remove oil, and the remaining solids are ground into a powder. This powder is a source of plant-based protein and fiber.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add organic pumpkin protein as a source of plant-based protein in foods. It is often found in protein bars, baked goods, and plant-based meat alternatives. Its mild, nutty flavor can also contribute to the overall taste profile of a product.
Health notes
Organic pumpkin protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and various minerals. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated pumpkin seed protein, and it is considered safe for consumption. Research suggests that plant-based proteins can be part of a healthy diet.
Allergen info
Pumpkin seeds are not among the nine major allergens defined by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free.
