Pumpkin seed meal, also known as ground pumpkin seeds or pepita flour, is a nutritious and versatile ingredient made from grinding whole, hulled pumpkin seeds. It boasts a mild, nutty flavor and a slightly coarse texture, making it a great addition to both sweet and savory dishes. The meal has a greenish-tan color, reflecting the natural color of the seeds. Pumpkin seed meal is a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, offering a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in various baking applications and beyond.

Pumpkin seed meal should be stored properly to maintain its freshness and nutritional value. Due to its high oil content, it is prone to rancidity if exposed to air and light. For short-term storage (up to a month), keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry. For longer-term storage (several months), refrigeration is recommended. For the longest storage life, consider freezing the meal in an airtight, freezer-safe bag or container. Always check for any off-putting odors before use, a sign that the meal might have gone rancid.
