About Pepita
Pepitas, or pumpkin seeds, are small, flat, green seeds typically found inside certain varieties of pumpkins. Often associated with Mexican cuisine, they are widely enjoyed in dishes like mole sauces, salads, and snacks. A nutritional powerhouse, pepitas are rich in protein, healthy fats, magnesium, iron, and zinc, making them an excellent choice for supporting heart health, immune function, and energy production. Their high content of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids contributes to reducing inflammation and promoting brain health. Pepitas are also a good source of plant-based protein, making them a valuable addition to vegetarian and vegan diets. However, as they are calorie-dense, moderation is key—especially when consumed roasted and salted, which can increase sodium intake. Whether eaten raw, toasted, or blended into recipes, pepitas are a versatile and flavorful way to enhance both nutrition and taste in meals.
