Health Benefits of Pumpkin Seeds

Besides a great taste, there are other reasons to eat pumpkin seeds. Here are some health benefits you can enjoy when you add them to your diet:

1. Rich in Magnesium: Pepitas are a good source of hard-to-get magnesium, with a 100-gram serving providing 148% of the nutrient's daily recommended intake. Magnesium is essential in bone formation, DNA synthesis, and blood sugar regulation. These kernels also contain manganese, zinc, iron, phosphorous, calcium and selenium.
   
   
2. Healthy Protein:100 grams of pumpkin seeds provide 54% of the recommended daily intake of protein. This nutrient is crucial in tissue growth and repair. It also works with fiber to promote a feeling of fullness, aiding in weight loss.
   
   
3. Omega 3s: Pumpkin seeds with no shell provide healthy amounts of ALA (alpha-linoleic acid), which is converted in the body to EHA and DHA. Omega 3 fatty acids are involved in brain health and reduce the risk of diabetes, stroke and hypertension.
   
   
4. Antioxidant Action: Pepita seed is an excellent source of vitamin E. Just 100 grams contains 237% of the daily recommended intake of this antioxidant. Aside from protecting cells from free radical damage, vitamin E also slows down rancidity allowing you to buy raw pumpkin seeds in bulk.
