Few can deny that Pumpkin seeds should take their place alongside the other ‘superfoods’.
The seeds are rich in amino acids and contain high amounts of zinc and Omega 3 essential fatty acids. They are high in protein, iron and phosphorous and low in carbohydrates.
Pumpkins are a tasty source of vitamins and minerals, particularly beta-carotene, vitamin C and potassium. Like most seeds, Pumpkin seeds are especially delicious roasted because roasting helps bring out their natural flavour.
Their high protein content makes them a great additional to any diet, particularly a vegetarian diet.
