Pumpkin seeds pack a nutritional punch fresh out of the pumpkin, making them excellent to snack on

or adding to mealtime recipes.

  • Rich Iron Source. 30 grams of pumpkin seeds provides 20-30% of the recommended daily allowance of iron.

  • Rich Source of Fiber. Benefits digestive health and works to prevent constipation.

  • Rich Source of Zinc. Essential in immune function, cell growth, eye and skin health and insulin regulation.

  • Rich Source of Tryptophan.

  • Exceptionally High in Magnesium. One-quarter cup of pumpkin seeds contains nearly half of the recommended daily amounts.

  • Also a Source of Copper, and Selenium

  • Source of Vitamin E. Just one serving of pumpkin seeds provides the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin E.

  • Rich in B Vitamins. An excellent source of B-complex vitamins such as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6 and folate - better than any vitamin pill!
