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!

(1oz ) About a handful of Pumpkin Seeds gives you almost 8.5 grams of protein. That’s 15% of the daily requirement for men and 18% for women. 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.
The 1oz serving of pumpkin seeds provides more than 2 milligrams of zinc, which is between 18 and 22% of an adult’s daily needs. In addition, these seeds supply niacin, or vitamin B3, which aids in circulation. A 1oz serving provides 8 and 9% of the daily requirement for this vitamin for men and women, respectively.
