Pumpkin Seeds (Styrian)
Ancient Purity Presents Styrian Pumpkin Seeds. From organically grown Pumpkins in Styria (The 2nd largest state of Austria) a Single Source Origin - The Seeds come only from one place not multiple origin. They boast a healthy dose of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, essential for brain health, cardiovascular function, and maintaining supple skin. They're a delicious source of minerals, including iron, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, niacin and zinc. These Styrian Pumpkin Seeds are rich in plant-based protein and abundant in antioxidants, numerous forms of vitamin E, as well as many phenolic acids. Antioxidant phytonutrients like lignans are also found in our Pumpkin Seeds, including the lignans pinoresinol, medioresinol and lariciresinol. Animal studies suggest that Pumpkin Seeds may help improve insulin regulation and help prevent diabetic complications by decreasing oxidative stress. Pumpkin Seeds are rich in healthy fats, antioxidants, and fibres, may provide benefits for heart and liver health, particularly when mixed with flax seeds. The Styrian Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo), AKA the Naked-Seeded Pumpkin, itself is not used as a food item. It was- if at all - considered suitable for animals only. The vegetable part of its fruit was never a favoured over pumpkin varieties that produce more and better fruit pulp than the Styrian Pumpkin. However, the seeds of the pumpkins have been used for ages as "snack-food" especially in the Mediterranean. From salads, smoothies, granola and yogurt toppers, Styrian Pumpkin Seeds seamlessly integrate into your daily diet. They're a Superfood, they work!

The same-size serving is low in carbs, providing just 4 grams, almost half of which come from fiber, a nutrient that supports healthy digestion and helps you feel full longer. Although 1 ounce of seeds has almost 14 grams of fat, all but 2.5 grams are heart-healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats. Watch your portion size, though, because a 1oz serving also contains 163 calories.
