Pumpkin seeds, also known as 'Pepitas,' have a high nutrient profile that improves many facets of your health. They are high in protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, all of which lower the risk factors for chronic diseases such as cancer. Pumpkin seeds also contain a high magnesium concentration, which helps to reduce and manage blood pressure. You have the option of eating raw pumpkin seeds or roasted pumpkin seeds or making pesto, or salad dressing or include them into your favorite salads, oats, cereal, breads, muffins, and other foods.
