Pumpkin seed flour is quite versatile. Besides baking, it is handy for adding to dishes where you want to increase nutritional density without significantly changing the taste.
- Porridge and breakfasts. One or two tablespoons stirred into porridge made with oats or another grain make breakfast more filling thanks to the plant protein.
- Fermented dairy products. It goes well with cottage cheese, yoghurt or kefir and can be added together with berries or fresh herbs.
- Sauces and dressings. A small amount of flour slightly thickens a sauce and gives it a nutty note. It is suitable for savoury dressings based on yoghurt or vegetable oil.
- Vegetable mixes and roasted vegetables. The flour can be used as a coating or added to fillings for vegetable dishes together with cottage cheese, grains or fresh herbs.
In all these cases, start with a small amount to see how well the taste and texture suit the particular dish. The product has a mild pumpkin seed flavour that becomes more noticeable as the amount increases.
