Health Benefits
- Raw pumpkin seeds are naturally rich in minerals, including copper, calcium, magnesium, and vitamins A and E. These nutrients become more bioavailable once the seeds are ground, making them easier for the body to absorb.
- Regular consumption may lead to improved cognitive function and cardiovascular health.
- High in fibre, it may enhance gut health and improve digestion.
- It is low in fat and very low in carbohydrates. Combined with its exceptionally high protein content, pumpkin powder is ideal for individuals seeking to lose weight or build muscle.
How is it made?
The best locally sourced pumpkin seeds are carefully selected, gently cold-pressed and finely milled, ensuring they retain their natural goodness. An innovative and environmentally friendly "zero waste" technology is employed, which also produces delicious toasted pumpkin seed oil and creamy pumpkin seed butter.

Comments from the Great Taste Judges:
"The earthy aroma and intense green colour were instantly appealing. During every stage of baking, the flour offered the evocative aroma of fresh or toasted pumpkin seeds. The final flatbread had a crisp crust and moist, close crumb that was easy to slice. The loaf had a remarkable, full and rounded flavour with a great length. The creamy taste was of freshly toasted pumpkin seeds that left a pleasing mouthfeel."
