Pumpkin Seed Butter, 8oz, BTR

Pumpkin seeds contain an abundance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fatty Acids, which the body uses to support improved concentration and a healthy immune system. The balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fatty Acids in raw pumpkin seeds is especially favorable for optimal health, approaching the balance found in raw hemp seeds. Raw Pumpkin Seeds have also been used for thousands of years to gently cleanse the body of tapeworms and other intestinal parasites. They are safe to use for children, the elderly, and pregnant women when other herbs may be inappropriate.

Raw pumpkin seeds are one of natures best sources of the mineral zinc and the amino acid tryptophan. Zinc and tryptophan work synergistically to improve the mood and increase levels of serotonin in the brain. Tryptophan is one of the least common amino acids in modern diets, as it is intolerant to high heat. Finally, Pumpkin Seeds are a true aphrodisiac food, on par with Raw Cacao and Maca. In men, pumpkin seeds supply zinc to the prostate while helping to increase the flow of seminal fluid. In women, pumpkin seeds work in a similar way to activate the sexual organs and increase the flow of sexual fluids.

Better than Roasted Pumpkin Seed Butter elevates all the benefits of raw pumpkin seeds to a higher plane, transforming nutrient-dense seeds into a delicious, raw spread. The BTR process begins with raw, whole, certified organic pumpkin seeds which are repeatedly hand-sorted through all four steps of the production process. Soaking nuts initiates germination and removes naturally occurring, bitter-tasting phytates, which have been shown to inhibit digestion as well as the absorption of some nutrients. The dedication to this soaking and rinsing process actually helps to enhance the absorption of the vitamins and minerals present in the finished BTR Pumpkin Seed Butter.

The nuts are then dried at 108 degrees Fahrenheit or below, which protects vital enzymes and nutrients, and maintains the raw, live nature of these nuts and seeds. Foods high in live enzymes require less of our own digestive enzymes, helping us to conserve enzyme energy and increase bio-availability of nutrients. The proprietary four-fold, four day, quality control process yields an extremely high-quality, fresh, sweet and crisp product. Once the sorting, germinating, and drying are complete, the pumpkin seeds are slowly ground into a smooth paste, producing truly raw pumpkin seed butter with no added oil. The BTR process creates a delicious pumpkin seed butter which is easier to digest, offering superior nutritional value than a conventionally ground nut butters, with a smoother texture and a sweeter taste.

Suggested Uses for Better than Roasted Pumpkin Seed Butter:

• Mix Raw, Organic Cacao Nibs into BTR Pumpkin Seed Butter. Eat by the spoonful slowly. This combination may help boost serotonin levels in the brain.
• Create a Smoothie using Sun Warrior Protein and BTR Pumpkin Seed Butter. Sun Warrior Protein provides a bio-available source of all essential and many non-essential amino acids, offering a perfect complement to pumpkin seeds, which are high in the amino acid tryptophan.
• Blend BTR Pumpkin Seed Butter with BTR Almonds and Raw, Stone Crushed Olive Oil for an incredible base to Salad Dressings and aphrodisiac Sauces. Pumpkin Seeds are rich in Zinc, while almonds and olive oil offer a weath of antioxidant Vitamin E. These two nutrients work together to nourish the sexual organs in both men and women.
