FAQs
Q: Is pumpkin seed protein hypoallergenic?
A: Yes! Unlike many plant proteins (e.g., soy or pea), organic pumpkin seed protein is naturally nut-free, soy-free, and gluten-free, making it ideal for sensitive diets.
Q: How does pumpkin seed protein compare to whey or pea protein?
A: Pumpkin seed protein offers a complete amino acid profile similar to whey but is entirely plant-based. It’s easier to digest than pea protein and richer in minerals like zinc and magnesium.
Q: Can I use this protein powder in hot recipes?
A: Yes, but avoid boiling to preserve nutrients. Stir into warm oatmeal, soups, or baked goods (added post-baking for optimal nutrient retention).
Q: Does it contain chlorophyll or fiber?
A: Yes! Cold-pressed processing retains natural chlorophyll (for detox support) and 8% dietary fiber per serving to aid digestion.
Q: Is this protein suitable for children or pregnant women?
A: Absolutely. It’s a safe, nutrient-dense option for all ages, but consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Q: Why choose cold-pressed processing?
A: Cold-pressing avoids high heat that destroys enzymes and antioxidants, ensuring maximum bioavailability of nutrients like omega fatty acids.
Q: How much protein is in one serving?
A: Each 30g serving provides 18-20g of complete plant-based protein, depending on the variant.
Q: Are your pumpkin seeds sustainably sourced?
A: Yes! We partner with organic farms practicing regenerative agriculture to ensure eco-friendly sourcing and fair trade practices.

FAQs
Is the pumpkin seed a good source of protein?
Pumpkin seeds are a rich source of protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that may reduce your risk of getting chronic diseases, such as cancer. Pumpkin seeds are rich in many antioxidants, which protect your cells from disease-causing damage and reduce inflammation in your body.
Is pumpkin seed protein better than pea protein?
Both Pea protein and pumpkin seed protein offer a vast array of potential health benefits. Nutritionally, peas have slightly more protein content than pumpkin seed. However, pumpkin seeds offer more in terms of micronutrients, healthy fats, and antioxidant properties.
Is pumpkin seed protein hard to digest?
Pumpkin seed protein, however, is generally easier on the digestive system. Its gentle nature makes it a suitable choice for those with sensitive stomachs or digestive issues, enabling them to enjoy the benefits of protein without the discomfort associated with other plant-based options.
Is pumpkin seed protein a complete protein?
Almost a Complete Protein: Pumpkin seeds are packed with protein and even contain all nine essential amino acids to be a complete protein, but they’re usually not technically considered a complete protein because they have very low amounts of amino acids methionine and tryptophan.
