As a way to share Hokkaido’s bountiful harvest of unique produce with the world, Taimou worked hard to develop these pumpkin flakes. Made using only Hokkaido-grown kabocha (Japanese pumpkin), these flakes transform fresh produce into an easy-to-use product without sacrificing taste or nutrition. Capturing kabocha’s naturally sweet flavor, similar to a cross between pumpkin and sweet potato, these flakes are easily reconstituted with water but can also be used as is. Their versatility makes them perfect for adding a pop of color and subtle sweetness to your favorite sweet and savory dishes.

Suggested uses: Puree: Combine 10g (~1 Tbsp) of pumpkin flakes with 40ml (~1/6 cup) of milk or water and stir to dissolve. Baby food: Mix 10g (~1 Tbsp) of pumpkin flakes with 50-65ml (~1/4cup) of cool water. Soup (1 serving): Add 15g (5-6 heaping Tbsp) of flakes to 200ml (5/6 of a cup) of cold milk in a pot. Whisk over low heat until warm and thickened. Add salt and top with cream or butter for added richness. Pumpkin flakes can also be used in baked goods, soups, salads, pasta dishes, gratin, dips, and more!
