Pumpkin Seed Protein, Organic, 500 g

Pumpkin seed protein is a concentrated plant protein obtained by cold-pressing pumpkin seeds to extract the oil, after which the remaining press cake is ground into a fine powder. The resulting protein contains 65 g of protein per 100 g, only 4.9 g of carbohydrates and 9.3 g of fat, mostly unsaturated.

The product is offered in its pure form – 100% organic pumpkin seed protein, with no added sugar or synthetic additives, and is suitable for vegans.

Main ingredient – Pumpkin seed protein

Pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita pepo) are among the few plant foods whose proteins contain branched-chain amino acids (valine, leucine and isoleucine) – important for muscle function and recovery – as well as glutamine, which is abundant in muscle tissue. Cold pressing removes almost all the oil, increasing the protein content from around 25–30% in raw seeds to nearly 65% in the resulting powder. The minerals found in the seeds – magnesium, zinc and iron – are retained and contribute to normal muscle function and energy metabolism.

How it differs from other proteins

Unlike whey protein, pumpkin seed protein contains no lactose and is suitable for people with lactose intolerance. Its mild, slightly nutty flavour makes it easy to add to recipes compared with hemp or pea protein.

Directions for use

Mix 5 teaspoons (15 g) into 200 ml of juice, milk, plant-based drink or water. The protein mixes well and can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, batter, wraps or other recipes – both sweet and savoury. A daily serving of 15 g provides almost 10 g of plant protein with very few carbohydrates, making it a practical choice to support an active lifestyle.
