About Pepita seeds
Pepita seeds, also known as pumpkin seeds, are nutrient-dense edible seeds that originate from various types of pumpkins or squash. Commonly used in Central American cuisine, particularly Mexican dishes, these seeds have gained global popularity as a versatile and healthy snack. Packed with protein, healthy fats, and dietary fiber, pepitas are rich in essential nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and iron. They also contain antioxidants, including vitamin E, which help combat oxidative stress in the body. The healthy fats found in pepitas, primarily unsaturated fats, contribute to heart health and improved cholesterol levels. While naturally low in sugar and carbs, they are calorie-dense, so portion control is recommended. Pepita seeds are often enjoyed roasted for added flavor or incorporated into salads, smoothies, granola, and baked goods. Their origin and robust nutritional profile make them a staple in both traditional and modern diets.
