About Watermelon seeds

Watermelon seeds, native to Africa and widely enjoyed across the globe, are small yet packed with nutrients. These seeds are rich in protein, healthy fats, magnesium, iron, and zinc, making them a great source of essential minerals. Often dried, roasted, or ground into powder, they feature prominently in Middle Eastern and Asian cuisines. Their nutty flavor adds depth to snacks, salads, and baked goods. Watermelon seeds are high in calories due to their fat content, but they primarily contain heart-healthy unsaturated fats. They also provide a good dose of fiber, aiding digestion and promoting gut health. However, moderation is key, as overconsumption can contribute to excess calorie intake. Overall, watermelon seeds offer a nutritious boost when incorporated wisely into a balanced diet.
