Pumpkin powder is a versatile, nutrient-dense concentrate derived from the flesh of the Cucurbita pepo or Cucurbita maxima. Historically, pumpkins were a "survival crop" for Indigenous American tribes, prized for their long shelf life and their use as both a food source and a medicinal poultice. While many think of it as a seasonal flavor, the powder is a year-round powerhouse of Carotenoids, particularly Beta-carotene, which the body converts into Vitamin A (Retinol) as needed.

In the modern functional food industry, Pumpkin Powder is celebrated as a "whole-food" multivitamin. It is exceptionally rich in soluble fiber and potassium, making it a favorite for cardiovascular support and digestive regularity. Beyond its nutritional profile, its vibrant orange hue acts as a natural, clean-label pigment. It is widely used in "Beauty from Within" formulations to support skin radiance and in "Gut Health" blends due to its gentle, soothing effect on the intestinal lining.

• Rich Beta-Carotene Source: Provides a high concentration of pro-vitamin A, which is essential for maintaining healthy vision, robust immune function, and cellular turnover.
• Potassium & Electrolyte Balance: Contains significant levels of potassium, helping to regulate fluid balance and support healthy muscle contraction and blood pressure.
• Soluble Fiber Matrix: The natural pectin in pumpkin acts as a prebiotic, supporting the growth of beneficial gut flora and helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Alkalizing Properties: Like many orange vegetables, pumpkin has an alkalizing effect on the body's internal pH, which can help reduce systemic inflammation.
