Since Halloween is just around the corner and most of you are carving up pumpkins and looking for roasted pumpkin seed recipes I figured I should do some research on the pumpkin seeds health benefits. ☺ I was amazed at how nutritious they are! If you’ve been reading health books you’ve probably heard that a highly acidic diet is supposed to lead to poor health. Well pumpkins seeds fall in the
alkaline ph scale so that alone makes them a healthy, good for you food, but there’s more. Pumpkin seeds, according to all of my research are high in vitamin K and contain large amounts of zinc which is a necessary nutrient. They are also proclaimed to reduce inflammation in arthritis, they help to lower cholesterol, and are also high in Vitamins B and E.
I’ve already liked roasted pumpkin seeds. So this year while you’re carving up your pumpkins with your family, be sure to roast those pumpkins for your health too! Not carving pumpkins? Here’s a link to purchase pumpkin seeds online with great reviews!
