These certified organic pumpkin seeds (also called pepitas) have a mild nutty flavour and make a great nutritious treat. Like most seeds and nuts, they contain predominantly polyunsaturated fats and are particularly rich in cholesterol-lowering phytosterols. They are high in fibre and protein and packed with valuable minerals including phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, zinc and iron and provide a healthy dose of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, making them some of the most nutritious and flavourful seeds around. They lend a crunch and a nutty flavour to salads, vegetables, pasta dishes, sauces and casseroles and can also be used in pestos and baking, muesli or breakfast cereal or sprinkled on your favourite soup.

HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN SEED POPS:

• For something different, toast pumpkin seeds in a dry pan over high heat, until they begin to pop.
• Heat until the popping slows, then season with a pinch of salt and enjoy.
