Organic Pumpkin Seeds

Organic pumpkin seeds are a rich source of protein and dietary fiber which makes for a healthy and satisfying snack. They are also loaded with minerals like iron, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. Pumpkin seeds are naturally plentiful in antioxidant-like compounds that may lower “bad” cholesterol levels.

Alkaline-forming foods like organic pumpkin seeds are an excellent addition to our diets, which are often overly acidic. In fact, pumpkin seeds are the only seeds that are alkaline-forming. Research suggests that alkaline-forming foods promote cardiovascular health, build strong bones, and improve cognitive function.

Snack on these by themselves, or toss them over salads for a nice crunch. Pumpkin seeds are also delicious in soups and stews, and add a great texture to puddings, cookies, and other desserts. Sprinkle them over oatmeal and cereals, or chicken and vegetable dishes for a nutritional boost. Try them toasted and spiced with salt, chilli powder or other flavours for a great snack.
