(More customer reviews)I'm a fan of dipping fruits and vegetables in spreads. I love pumpkin seeds and was excited to try spread with a different flavor profile. Omega Nutrition's pumpkin seed butter is a mildly flavored spread that would be perfect with fruits that have a strong, crisp flavor. I eat this spread frequently with pink lady apples, which are quite sweet. I occasionally add it to oatmeal to add some flavor. I could see this spread being used as an ice cream topping and in sauces that might be similar to a Thai peanut sauce.
The pumpkin seed butter reaches you in a container that is very well sealed. It not only has a twist lid but an additional seal that must be peeled away once the lid is removed. Both removing the lid and the seal are a process. I could not remove the seal entirely and had to cut a large hole through it. Once this boundary is overcome, you get your first glimpse of the actual product.
This pumpkin seed butter is of a very loose consistency (it doesn't firm up much even after being placed in a refrigerator) and, therefore, easily retrieved from the container. Consider this a very creamy spread; there are no chunks and it lacks much texture. When I opened the jar, I found a bit of oil separation and had to do some stirring.
There are just three ingredients in the product: organic pumpkin seeds, organic pumpkin seed oil and celtic sea salt. I think the flavoring is very similar to freshly ground peanut butter. The color is a shade of olive green and brown, which is probably not the most appetizing color. If you are thinking about feeding this to children, they may be turned off by the color. For another nut free option, try SunButter SunButter Creamy Sunflower Seed Spread, 16-Ounce Plastic Jars (Pack of 6). SunButter has cane juice so it is sweeter. It is also a more traditional brown color and has a closer consistency to peanut butter when stirred. It is also more wallet friendly.
This particular product comes in a 12 ounce jar, however, the company also makes a 20 ounce option. There are 24 servings in the 12 ounce jar. The spread has 2 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of protein and 9 grams of fat per 1 tablespoon serving. I will also comment on a particular part of the flavor profile of this product -- each person has a different appreciation and tolerance for salt. I personally love it and I could taste a hint of it in this butter which makes me believe that for some people the flavor might be too salty. Per 1 tablespoon, there are 45 mg of salt.
While not noted explicitly on the product's label, this is a vegan product. There is no milk, honey, eggs or other animal-based substances that go into the formulation of this product.
It is recommended that this product be refrigerated.
This product is made in the United States.
