Description
Pepitas, or pumpkin seeds, are a great source of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc. Roasted or raw, these tiny, flat pumpkin seeds are a popular snack and a great ingredient in many recipes, including salads, smoothies, cereals, and baked goods. The many health benefits of pumpkin seeds, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, include better heart health, better sleep, and a healthier prostate. They are a healthy snack on their own and a versatile addition in sweet and savory meals because of their crisp texture and mild, nutty flavor.
