About Pumpkin seed flour

Pumpkin seed flour is a ground product made from pumpkin seeds, often after some or most of their oil has been pressed out. It is typically greenish or tan and finely milled, with a nutty, earthy flavour. Its texture and richness depend on the seed variety and how much oil remains.

It is used in baking and cooking, either on its own or blended with other flours; its properties do not match those of wheat flour. Products sold under this name can be defatted to different degrees, and some are made from whole seeds, so formulation and milling affect their texture and use.
