Green Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are flat, dark green seeds. Some are encased in a yellow-white husk (often called the "shell"), although some varieties of pumpkins produce seeds without shells. These seeds have a malleable, chewy texture and a subtly sweet, nutty flavour. These seeds are edible kernels of pumpkin. The seeds are concentrated sources of many health-benefiting vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential amino acids such as tryptophan, and glutamate.
Pumpkin seeds are rich in proteins and minerals like zinc, iron, phosphorous, magnesium, and manganese. Pumpkin seeds are a tasty way to gain essential nutrients.
