About Seeds, pumpkin and squash seed kernels, dried

Pumpkin seeds — pepitas, in their hulled green form — are the flat, nutty seeds scooped from inside a pumpkin and roasted into one of the more nutritious snacks around. Crunchy and savory, they're scattered over salads, granola and soups, or eaten by the handful.

They're a standout source of magnesium, a mineral many people fall short on, along with zinc, iron, plant protein, healthy fats and antioxidants. That mineral density, particularly the magnesium and zinc, is much of why they've earned a reputation as a genuinely healthful snack.

Roasted with a little salt or spice, pumpkin seeds are an easy, satisfying way to add crunch and a real hit of minerals to a meal — nutritious enough to make scooping out a pumpkin feel worthwhile.
