1. Introduction

Pumpkin seed protein is a plant-sourced protein obtained from pumpkin seeds. It serves as a superior protein option, delivering all nine essential amino acids needed for optimal body performance. This protein is ideal for people with lactose intolerance or dairy sensitivities, since it is inherently lactose-free and dairy-free. It is also abundant in key nutrients like iron, magnesium, and zinc. This versatile protein fits seamlessly into numerous foods and treats, including smoothies, protein bars, and baked items.
