Pumpkin flour, also known as pumpkin fruit flour is a type of flour made from dried pumpkin flesh, excluding the stem, and leaves, made with or without the rind and seeds included.[1][2] Pumpkin products have drawn some commercial and research interest partly due to the low cost of pumpkin production.[2] Additionally, pumpkin flour is a gluten-free flour which makes it suitable for people with coeliac disease, and it has been used in blends with other gluten-free flours to make baked goods. It has also been recognized as a potential additive to conventional wheat flour for producing composite flour with increased fiber,[3] as well as being potentially useful as a natural form of food coloring for baked goods.[2] Sun-dried pumpkin flour has a shelf-life of about 11.5 months.[4]
