Pumpkin Fruit Powder (Curcubita Moschuta)

Pumpkin Fruit Powder (Cucurbita moschata) is a finely milled powder made from the ripe fruit of the pumpkin, a nourishing botanical long valued in traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, and folk medicine for its digestive, detoxifying, and restorative properties. Known for its naturally sweet, earthy flavor and high nutrient content, pumpkin has been used as both a functional food and gentle tonic to support digestion, strengthen qi, and promote overall vitality.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), pumpkin (Nan Gua) is considered sweet and warm, entering the Spleen and Stomach channels. It is used to tonify qi, harmonize digestion, and expel parasites, while also alleviating pain and reducing inflammation. Its nourishing nature makes it ideal for individuals recovering from weakness, digestive imbalance, or nutrient depletion.

In Ayurveda, pumpkin is recognized as a cooling and grounding food, balancing pitta and vata doshas. It is traditionally consumed to soothe the digestive tract, support liver function, and promote healthy elimination. Pumpkin is also seen as a gentle rejuvenative (rasayana) food, helping to restore strength and nourish the body’s tissues.

Modern nutritional studies confirm that Cucurbita moschata is rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and natural antioxidants, which contribute to immune health, eye protection, and anti-inflammatory support. Its polysaccharides and amino acids also play a role in blood sugar regulation and gut microbiome balance.

Each batch of Pumpkin Fruit Powder (Cucurbita moschata) is carefully processed from fresh, ripe pumpkins and low-temperature dried to preserve color, nutrients, and flavor. The result is a vibrant orange powder with a mildly sweet, smooth taste, suitable for use in nutrient blends, smoothies, teas, functional foods, or herbal formulas.
