What it is

Organic pumpkin seed protein is a plant-based protein powder made from ground organic pumpkin seeds. The seeds are typically pressed to remove oil, and the remaining solid material is milled into a fine powder. It's a source of complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add it to foods as a protein supplement, contributing to the protein content of the product. It is commonly found in protein bars, powders, and other health-focused food items. Its mild, nutty flavor can also complement certain food profiles.

Health notes

Organic pumpkin seed protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended in food. It is a source of nutrients like protein, magnesium, and zinc. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various protein sources, but specific evaluations for organic pumpkin seed protein's safety at typical dietary levels are not widely publicized. Evidence suggests it can contribute to satiety and muscle maintenance as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Pumpkin seeds are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. However, it is processed in facilities that may handle allergens like tree nuts, peanuts, soy, and wheat, so cross-contamination is possible. It does not contain gluten.
