Kurpitsansiemen, or pumpkin seed, is a nutrient-dense seed derived from the pumpkin fruit, widely used across various cuisines, particularly in Central American, European, and Asian dishes. These small, flat, and oval seeds are packed with essential nutrients, including protein, healthy fats, magnesium, zinc, iron, and antioxidants like vitamin E. Kurpitsansiemenet are celebrated for supporting heart health, improving digestion, and promoting healthy skin and hair due to their high nutrient content. They are also a good source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for brain and heart function. Commonly enjoyed roasted as a snack or added to salads, mueslis, baked goods, and soups, they offer a satisfying crunch and nutty flavor. While they are generally healthy, portion control is important as they are calorie-dense. Unsalted or minimally processed seeds are often the better choice to maximize their health benefits.
