What it is

Pumpkin seed protein is a plant-based protein powder derived from ground pumpkin seeds. After the oil is extracted from the seeds, the remaining meal is processed to isolate and concentrate the protein content.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add pumpkin seed protein to boost the protein content of foods. It is commonly found in snack bars, baked goods, and protein powders, where it contributes to texture and nutritional value.

Health notes

Pumpkin seed protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of essential amino acids and may contribute to muscle health and satiety. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated proteins, but specific evaluations for pumpkin seed protein's health effects at typical intake levels are not widely published.

Allergen info

Pumpkin seed protein is not derived from one of the nine FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
