FOOD OF THE WEEK - PUMPKIN SEEDS
Pumpkin Seeds Pumpkin Seeds are among the World's Healthiest Foods.
This week we celebrate the subtly sweet and nutty flavor of pumpkin seeds. With a malleable, chewy texture, pumpkin seeds are one of the most flavorful and nutritious seeds you can add to your Healthiest Way of Eating. So, don't throw away the seeds from your Halloween pumpkin. Lightly roast them—just 30 minutes at 175 degrees—for a nutritious snack or tasty topping for salads and steamed vegetables that is easy to pack and fun to eat!
Although pumpkin seeds are available year around, the autumn harvest is the time of year when they are the freshest as pumpkins are now in season.
