Spicy Pumpkin Seeds

Spicy Pumpkin Seeds can be sprinkled on top of a salad or eaten alone as a snack. Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are flat, dark green seeds and a rich source of many nutrients. A half cup of pumpkin seeds contains 92% of your daily value of magnesium, a mineral in which most Americans are deficient. They also contain phytosterols, compounds that that have been shown to reduce levels of LDL cholesterol.
