Pumpkin seeds are little gems of plant-based nutrition. Seeds are harvested from the flesh of ripe pumpkins, and are flat, oval-shaped seeds with a delicate crunch, mild nutty flavor, and exceptional nutrient profile. Used in kitchens and wellness traditions globally, from Mexico and Zimbabwe to the Middle East, pumpkin seeds can be eaten raw or roasted, and added to other recipes for flavor as well as nutrition.
