Fall is the start of the holiday season, and it is a beautiful time of year. The leaves are changing color, the air is crisp and the pumpkins and scarecrows decorate homes and stores. Many of you will soon be baking or carving Jack O Lanterns, and may be wondering how to roast pumpkin seeds so you don't waste these little marvels of nutrition. Watch our new roasted salted pumpkin seeds video. A pumpkin seeds recipes video will be following shortly.
Pumpkin seeds are full of nutrients, like Omega 3 fats, cancer fighting cucurbitace, and cholesterol lowering phytosterols. They also are a great source of magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, iron and zinc. But let's face it - we mainly eat them because they are delicious! Since they don't trigger allergins, they also make a great snack for school or the workplace.
I must admit that I was dissapointed with the yield from our first pumpkin - the seeds barely had time to cool before they were all gone! Pumpkin seeds are available all year round and can be ordered online. They are most nutritious raw, but can be bought roasted/seasoned. Add them to lunches, salads, bread mixes, muffins, cereals and cooked veggies. You can also grind them up to add to salad dressings, oatmeal, ground beef or turkey.
