Who you callin Pumpkin?

It's that time of year to get your pumpkin seed fix on!

    Raw pumpkin seeds provide a rich source of fiber, a type of carbohydrate
that prevents constipation and benefits digestive health. The seeds
also boost your intake of protein — each ounce of seeds provides almost
9 grams of the nutrient. You also increase your mineral intake when you
eat pepitas. The seeds contain iron, a mineral important to red blood
cell function, as well as potassium, phosphorus, zinc and magnesium.
Because fiber, protein and minerals are not destroyed by roasting, these
nutrients are found in roughly equal amounts in both raw and roasted
pumpkin seeds.
