]]> Pumpkin seeds are small but mighty. These nourishing seeds are packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, as well as essential micronutrients such as manganese, magnesium, iron, and zinc. They are associated with numerous health benefits, including improved heart health, balanced blood sugar levels, increased fertility, and better sleep quality.

Offering a similar nutrient profile, pumpkin seeds are also a more economical and allergen-free alternative to nuts. Here are a few ways to get more of these tasty seeds into your diet.

Pumpkin Seed Butter

Make pumpkin seed butter in your bullet blender. All you need is pumpkin seeds, sea salt, and a little pumpkin seed oil or other nut oil and you’ve got yourself a versatile spread that will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks. Enjoy pumpkin seed butter on toast, with crackers, in smoothies or why not make some funky chocolate pumpkin butter cups?!

Toasted Pumpkin Seed Salad Topper

Toasted pumpkin seeds have a delicious deep, savory, and nutty flavor. Simply warm a dry frying pan over medium heat, add the seeds, and toast until they begin to pop! Once cool, you can transfer the seeds to a jar, ready to sprinkle on salads, rice bowls, and other savory dishes

Pumpkin Seed Energy Balls

Add pumpkin seeds to your oat and date energy balls to add even more health-boosting nutrients. You may want to pop them in the food processor to break the seeds up a little, or leave them whole for extra crunch!

]]> Pumpkin seeds are rich in protein, fiber, minerals, and vitamins. Eat them as a snack between meals. As it’s always the case with nuts and seeds, you don’t need to eat too much to enjoy their health benefits. An ounce per serving is enough and it will provide you with a good amount of protein, fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc – all that for 160 calories.

All these seeds came from one of my sweet sugar pie squash, which are keeping beautifully through winter in my basement. Unfortunately I can't plant these seeds as squash will happily cross pollinate with any other cucurbit (melons, cucumbers, other squash) within a 1/4 mile radius. So these are for roasting. Yum! . . . #squash #roastedpumpkinseeds #hearthealth #healthyfood #wholefoods #wastenotwantnot #sweetsugarpie #wintersquash #squash #pumpkin #pumpkinseeds #seeds #cucurbitaceae #homegrownfood #growyourownfood #selfsufficient #selfsufficiency #urbangarden #citygarden #citygardening #roastedseeds #healthfood #suburbangarden #gardener #gardenstories #mygarden #gardenersofinstagram #instagarden #gardener #myyard
