Toasted pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are a popular snack and cooking ingredient celebrated for their distinctive crunch and nutty flavor. Originating from various cuisines worldwide, especially Latin American and Mediterranean, these seeds are typically toasted to enhance their natural taste and texture. Rich in nutrients, they are a good source of plant-based protein, healthy fats, magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants, which support heart health, immune function, and bone strength. Their high fiber content also promotes digestive health. While they’re generally considered a healthy alternative to many processed snacks, their nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation—salted or oil-roasted varieties may have higher sodium or calorie levels. Perfect for sprinkling on salads, soups, or yogurt, toasted pumpkin seeds offer a versatile way to add both flavor and nutrition to meals or enjoy them as a standalone treat.
