Raw pumpkin seeds, often referred to as pepitas, are nutrient-dense seeds harvested from pumpkins. Typically enjoyed globally, they are particularly prominent in Mexican cuisine and are valued for their versatility and health benefits. These small, flat, oval-shaped seeds are packed with protein, fiber, and essential fatty acids, making them an excellent snack or addition to recipes. They are rich in magnesium, zinc, iron, and potassium, supporting heart health, immune function, and energy levels. Pumpkin seeds also contain antioxidants that combat inflammation and promote overall well-being. They're naturally low in sugar and carbs, fitting well into keto or low-carb diets. However, raw varieties may contain lectins, which can cause digestive discomfort for some individuals. Enjoyed as-is or added to smoothies, salads, or baked goods, raw pumpkin seeds provide a satisfying crunch and a host of nutritional value to any meal.
