What it is

Pumpkin protein is derived from the seeds of pumpkins. The seeds are typically hulled, dried, and then milled into a powder. This process concentrates the protein content while removing most of the fat and fiber.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add pumpkin protein to foods to boost their protein content. It is often found in plant-based protein powders, bars, and baked goods. Its mild, slightly nutty flavor makes it versatile in various food applications.

Health notes

Pumpkin protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of plant-based protein and contains various micronutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated proteins from plant sources. Evidence suggests it can contribute to satiety and muscle maintenance as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Pumpkin protein is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It is also naturally gluten-free.
