Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds, also known as Pepitas, are flat, green seeds extracted from the interior of pumpkins (Cucurbita pepo). They are highly nutritious, offering a crunchy texture, nutty flavor, and are consumed as a snack, in cooking, or for oil extraction. Pumpkin seeds are rich in protein, healthy fats, magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants.
