Organic Pumpkin Seeds

Organic pumpkin seeds are a delicious and convenient snack. Originally from Central America, they carry a light nutty flavour and aroma. The seeds can be eaten raw, roasted or baked. They are also a great addition to breakfast cereals, baked goods, raw foods and savoury dishes. Though small in size, pumpkin seeds are packed full of valuable nutrients. Only a small quantity can provide you with a substantial amount of healthy fats, magnesium and zinc. In fact, pumpkin seeds are one of the best natural sources of magnesium, a mineral which is often lacking in Western diets.

Pumpkin seeds are also an excellent source of dietary fibre. They contain antioxidants which may reduce inflammation and protect cells from free radicals. They are also rich in antioxidants, polyunsaturated fatty acids, potassium and vitamin B2.
