Pumpkinseeds, also known as pepitas, are nutrient-rich seeds harvested from pumpkins and are widely used in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Mexican and American dishes. These small, green seeds are packed with essential nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and iron, making them a powerhouse for bone health, immune support, and energy production. They are also an excellent source of plant-based protein and healthy fats, including omega-3s, which promote heart and brain health. Pumpkinseeds provide antioxidants such as vitamin E, which help combat inflammation and support overall cellular health. Enjoyed roasted, raw, or incorporated into dishes like salads, granola, or trail mix, they offer a satisfying crunch and a mild, nutty flavor. While highly nutritious, they can be calorie-dense, so portion control is key. Opt for unsalted versions to limit sodium intake and maximize their health benefits.
