Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin Seeds are the edible seeds of pumpkins, also sold hulled as pepitas; they are used as a snack, salad or granola topping, and in many cuisines from Central America to Europe. They are a calorie-dense seed notable for their plant protein content and rich, nutty flavor. Nutritionally, Pumpkin Seeds are a concentrated source of minerals and healthy unsaturated fats and are particularly high in magnesium—about 427mg per 100g—while also providing substantial protein and fiber for a seed. They supply copper and manganese and contribute omega-6 and some omega-3 fatty acids. From a health perspective, they are a useful plant-based protein and mineral-rich snack that supports bone and metabolic health; their protein quality and micronutrient content make them a more nutritious alternative to many processed snacks when eaten in moderation.
