About Pumpkin seeds

Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are small, flat, and nutrient-dense seeds harvested from pumpkins, particularly native to the Americas. Packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber, they make a satisfying snack or versatile ingredient in various recipes. Pumpkin seeds are rich in magnesium, zinc, and iron, supporting heart health, immune function, and energy metabolism. They also contain antioxidants and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which benefit skin, hair, and overall wellness. Traditionally used in Mexican cuisine, pepitas appear in dishes like mole sauces and as garnishes for soups and salads. While they offer several health benefits, their high calorie and fat content means portion control is key. Roasting or seasoning can add flavor but avoid excessive salt or sugary coatings for a healthier option. Pumpkin seeds are a plant-based powerhouse of nutrients, perfect for boosting your diet while indulging in their delicious, nutty taste.
