Pumpkin Powder
Overview
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.
