As the seasons change and pumpkins make their grand entrance, there’s more to these orange wonders than just their flesh. Hidden within are seeds that many overlook and discard, unaware of the potent health benefits they carry. Pumpkin seeds, or pepitas, are not just a crunchy snack; they are a powerhouse of nutrients, capable of providing a plethora of health benefits. Let’s delve into why keeping and enjoying these seeds can be a delightful addition to your wellness routine.
A Nutrient-Dense Snack
Pumpkin seeds are a small package bursting with nutritional value. They are rich in magnesium, important for bone health and energy production; zinc, which boosts immunity; and antioxidants, which fight free radicals and reduce inflammation. Moreover, they’re a fantastic source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart health.
