What it is

Pumpkin seed butter is a spread made from ground roasted pumpkin seeds. It is similar in texture to peanut butter but has a distinct, earthy flavor. The seeds are typically hulled, roasted, and then ground into a smooth or slightly textured paste.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use pumpkin seed butter as a source of healthy fats, protein, and flavor in food products. It adds a nutty taste and creamy texture, often found in energy bars, baked goods, sauces, and as a spread on its own.

Health notes

Pumpkin seed butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and healthy fats. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar food ingredients, but specific evaluations for pumpkin seed butter are not widely publicized. Evidence suggests that nutrients found in pumpkin seeds can contribute to overall health as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Pumpkin seed butter is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
