About Peppitas

Pepitas, often referred to as pumpkin seeds, are small, flat, and oval-shaped seeds cherished in various cuisines, particularly Mexican and Latin American dishes. These seeds are not only flavorful but packed with nutrition, making them a popular snack and ingredient. Pepitas are rich in healthy fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which support heart health. They are also a good source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants, promoting bone health, immune function, and overall wellness. Additionally, they contain vitamin E, which helps combat oxidative stress. Pepitas are naturally low in cholesterol and can be a great addition to salads, trail mixes, baked goods, or as a crunchy topping. However, salted or roasted varieties may contain added sodium or unhealthy fats, so opting for raw or lightly roasted pepitas is often the healthiest choice.
