Green Pumpkin Seeds - 50g

Pumpkin seeds, also known in North America as a pepita (from the Mexican Spanish: pepita de calabaza, "little seed of squash"), are the edible seed of a pumpkin. The seeds are nutrient- and calorie-rich, with an especially high content of fat (particularly linoleic acid and oleic acid), protein, dietary fiber, and numerous micronutrients. Pumpkin seed can refer either to the hulled kernel or unhulled whole seed, and most commonly refers to the roasted end product used as a snack.

Pumpkin seeds were once used as an anthelmintic in traditional medicine in China to expel tapeworm parasites, such as Taenia tapeworms.
