Organic fermented pumpkin seeds paste

Lactofermentation reveals the flavors of food and promotes the balance of the intestinal microbiota. Seeds and nuts stay alive, are digested more easily, are detoxifying… and delicious!

Dietary probiotics are better and more durably assimilated than supplements. It's more fun to add a spoon of fermented paste once a day in one of your meals, than taking pills, right? ;)

Balance of the intestinal flora: thanks to probiotics. Good bacteria that enrich, regulate, rebalance your intestinal flora. Thanks to them, you will find good intestinal health and we know that the digestive system is our 2nd brain! Taking care of it with probiotics improves many functions of your body, including your mood.

Better digestion: amylase, protease, cellulase, lipase, pectinase do the work for us; the textures are softened and the nutrients more assimilable. It is therefore strongly advised to eat lactofermented products for people with an easily irritable digestive system, especially because of the fibres.

Anti-toxins: fermentation reduces the presence of anti-nutritional compounds. Certain compounds such as phytic acid, cyanide, saponins and phytates (naturally present in food) are neutralized and destroyed.

Strengthens the immune system: nowadays numerous studies have proven that probiotics stimulate the production of antimicrobial compounds, reduce the effect of pathogens and prevent autoimmune reactions. They are also effective in combating antibiotic resistance. In short, a cocktail of benefits to boost our immunity cells!

Even more vitamins and minerals: the nut is rich in magnesium, E and B vitamins, as well as iron and calcium. Certain bacteria resulting from fermentation trigger a phenomenon of biosynthesis of vitamins (B, C, K), minerals and amino acids, which makes the dough richer than raw nuts.

Reduced Inflammation: probiotics influence the growth and regulation of cells that control the body's inflammatory pathways and take action against infections, and food allergic reactions.

Cognitive protection: the intestine and the brain are closely linked, they both regulate the production of hormones in our body and act in synergy. The bacteria will have a modulating effect on the production of nervous messages, in one direction as in the other.

For the bladder and the prostate: pumpkin seeds have diuretic properties. They stimulate the proper functioning of the bladder and prevent inflammation of the area. They promote the reduction of prostate hypertrophy because they contain elements (5-alpha-reductase) which allow better assimilation and better regulation of male hormones (testosterone, DHT, etc.) (source)..
