Pumpkin seed butter
Pumpkin seed butter is ground pumpkin seeds — a well-tolerated seed — making it one of the gentler spreads, freshness permitting.
Pumpkin seed butter carries the same low-histamine profile as whole pumpkin seeds, with the usual paste-form considerations.
-
The seed itself is gentle — pumpkin seeds don't appear on major sensitivity lists, which puts this spread ahead of most nut butters for this audience
-
Quantity and freshness — a spread concentrates more seeds than you'd eat whole, and ground seeds age faster than intact ones; a fresh, refrigerated jar is the better pick
A plain jar with just seeds (and maybe salt) is the version to reach for.
