Pumpkin seeds in the shell, also known as pepitas, are nutrient-dense snacks derived from pumpkins. These seeds are often roasted whole, with their lightly crunchy exterior offering extra fiber compared to shelled varieties. Popular in North America, Europe, and Latin American cuisines, they are enjoyed on their own or as a topping for salads, soups, and baked goods. Nutritionally, they are rich in healthy fats, protein, magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants, contributing to heart health, immune function, and energy metabolism. However, salted or oil-roasted versions may contain higher sodium or calorie content, so moderation is key. Their high fiber and essential nutrients support digestion and overall health, making them a wholesome choice for snacks and meals.
