Squash seeds with shells, also known as pumpkin seeds, are nutrient-dense snacks originally cultivated in the Americas and now enjoyed worldwide. These seeds are encased in hard, fibrous shells and boast a nutty, earthy flavor. Packed with essential nutrients, they are an excellent source of protein, healthy fats, fiber, magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants. The high magnesium content supports bone health and nerve function, while zinc boosts immunity and skin health. Their crunchy shell provides additional fiber, promoting digestive health. Squash seeds are commonly enjoyed toasted and seasoned, making them a popular snack in various cuisines, including Mexican and Mediterranean. While nutritious, they can be calorie-dense, so portion control is key. Opt for unsalted or lightly seasoned varieties to avoid excess sodium intake. These versatile seeds can be eaten on their own, added to salads, or ground into sauces, making them a delicious and healthy addition to your diet.
