What it is

Organic pumpkin seed butter is a spread made from roasted organic pumpkin seeds. The seeds are ground into a smooth paste, often with no added ingredients, preserving their natural flavor and nutrients.

Why it's used

It is used as a spread, a base for sauces, or an ingredient in baked goods and energy bars. Manufacturers add it for its rich, nutty flavor and creamy texture, and as a source of plant-based protein and healthy fats.

Health notes

Organic pumpkin seed butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a good source of nutrients like magnesium and zinc. It has not been specifically evaluated by JECFA or EFSA with a numeric ADI, but is considered a wholesome food ingredient.

Allergen info

Pumpkin seeds are not one of the nine major allergens. However, they are often processed in facilities that handle tree nuts, peanuts, soy, and wheat, so cross-contamination is possible.
