One of the fondest memories for many of us growing up is roasting pumpkin seeds. It’s a wonderful tradition after removing them from the pumpkin we were about to carve. They are subtly sweet and nutty. Not only are they a tasty snack, pumpkin seeds are one of the most nutritious and flavorful seeds around. And, once you roast them you’ll be hooked! We just like them roasted with heart healthy olive oil and seasoned with a little salt. You could spice things up a bit by adding garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and or seasoning salt. They really taste so much better than the store bought kind. They are best eaten hot right out of the oven…Yum!

Pumpkin Seeds are packed with protein, fiber, iron, copper, and magnesium. They also contain some calcium, potassium, zinc, folate, and niacin.
Although pumpkin seeds to contain a lot of fat, 90% of the fat is unsaturated and hence is easily assimilated without becoming a fattening agent. So even though pumpkin seeds are rich in fats, they are unsaturated in nature and hence are good for you. Of course, you’ll want to eat them in moderation. A ¼ cup serving is the perfect amount. It’s similar to eating just a handful of almonds a day.
