Pepitas is the Spanish word for pumpkin or squash seeds.


Pepitas is the Spanish word for pumpkin or squash seeds. High in omega-3 fatty acids, these seeds have been shown to decrease the body’s ability to store fat. They’re also high in protein and magnesium which helps curb cravings and strengthen muscles. Try eating 1 cup of seeds a few times a week either by roasting them or sprinkling them on meal.

Note: I use Pumpkin seeds as an ingredient for multi grain rice.
