PUMPKIN SEEDS, ROASTED & SALTED

Description:

Pepitas are the raw, hulled seeds of pumpkins. Pumpkin seeds have been eaten in Mexico dating back to ancient Aztec times.  Pumpkin Seeds pack therapeutic and nutritional ingredients and are a balanced source of good proteins.  Pumpkin Seeds are also lower in fat than most other nuts. Used often in Mexican cooking, Pumpkin Seeds are usually toasted and eaten as a snack.  With their white shell removed or hulled, Pumpkin Seeds are medium dark green, about 1/2" long with a delicate nutty flavor.  These Pumpkin Seeds are roasted and salted.  

Suggested Use:

For a nutritious snack mix Pumpkin Seeds with dried fruit and almonds for a healthy trail mix.  Delicious in breads and muffins or as a topping on cakes. Mix with wild rice and fruit for a tasty rice pilaf.
