Pumpkin seeds are also known as Pepitas.
Pumpkin seeds are especially delicious roasted because roasting brings out their natural flavor. Unfortunately, high temperatures are said to destroy the potency of their essential fatty acids. So, for best nutritional value, it is best to eat pumpkin seeds raw.
Pumpkin seeds are great tossed in salads, mixed with grains or ground up and added to salad dressings, casseroles, soups and baked goods. Pumpkin seeds are also enjoyed as a dry-roasted snack food.
