Pumpkin Seed Flour
Pumpkin Seed Flour (also: Ground pumpkin seeds | Pepita flour). Earthy, slightly nutty. Dark green (especially Styrian). High zinc.
Naturally gluten-free. That describes the plant. On a pack, any gluten-free wording, 'naturally gluten-free' included, legally means the flour inside is within the 20 ppm limit (EU, UK, US); flour without it can pick up gluten in the mill. Styrian pumpkin seed flour (Austria/DE) has regional significance; dark green colour.
