Getting ready to carve a pumpkin? Save the seeds!

Halloween is coming up soon which means many will be carving Jack-O-Lanterns.  Save the guts from your creation as pumpkin seeds are very nutritious and tasty!

Pumpkin seeds are rich in proteins and unsaturated fats like omega-6 fatty acids. They also contain other essential vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, folate, iron, vitamin B2, and beta-carotene.
