Sourced from carefully selected raw materials in Chile and Europe, the product is made exclusively from Butternut squash, chosen for its sweet taste, dense pulp, and low water content.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The processing ensures the highest safety and quality: the pumpkin is peeled, deseeded, and transformed into a concentrated pur\u00e9e with a natural Brix level of 20\u201322\u00b0, without any added sugars or additives. This results in a pure, natural product suitable for numerous applications in the food industry and professional kitchens.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><b>Technical features and shelf life<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">One of the main features of Palimex\u2019s pumpkin pur\u00e9e is its long shelf life: the product is aseptically packed and can be stored at room temperature for up to 24 months from the production date. This represents a significant operational and logistical advantage for companies that require supply stability over time, without cold chain constraints.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Available in 220 kg drums or practical 20 kg bag-in-box containers, it suits both large-scale production and smaller batches. Packaging flexibility also allows for optimal stock management, minimizing waste and storage costs.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><b>Uses and culinary applications<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pumpkin pur\u00e9e is an extremely versatile ingredient, ideal for both traditional and industrial cuisine. It is perfect for soups, creams, velout\u00e9s, risottos, fresh pasta fillings, and ready meals. Its soft texture and naturally sweet flavour make it suitable for creative recipes like gnocchi, savoury pies, mixed pur\u00e9es or plant-based spoon desserts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In industrial settings, it is widely used as a base for ready meals, deli products, baby food and children\u2019s products. Thanks to its high quality and purity, it is also ideal for organic and clean label lines.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><b>Seasonality and availability<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Butternut variety is one of the most widespread and appreciated worldwide, grown in two complementary regions: Chile and Europe. This dual origin allows full seasonal coverage, ensuring year-round availability, even when local harvests are not possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In Chile, harvesting takes place between March and May, followed by immediate processing and storage. In Europe, the harvest occurs between September and November, offering a second supply window. This system enables Palimex to ensure continuity and timely delivery to all clients.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><b>Nutritional value and health benefits<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Nutritionally, pumpkin pur\u00e9e is a healthy food with many beneficial properties. It is a natural source of beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, important for skin, vision and the immune system. It also contains B vitamins, vitamin C, and minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, and calcium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Low in calories and rich in fibre and antioxidants, it is ideal for balanced diets. Its naturally sweet taste makes it suitable for sugar-free recipes, including for diabetics or those following calorie-conscious diets.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><b>Other pur\u00e9es available on request<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">In addition to pumpkin pur\u00e9e, Palimex can also supply aseptic pur\u00e9es of cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini and peppers, available in conventional or organic versions. All products follow the same high quality and traceable production standards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This range expands the offering for food industry clients, enabling the creation of vegetable mixes, 100% plant-based products, multi-component creams, and customised lines for foodservice and retail.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><b>Why choose Palimex<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Choosing Palimex means relying on an experienced partner in the selection and distribution of processed vegetable raw materials.
