Tis the season of pumpkins and all the fall squashes – but try not to waste the best parts! The best parts are the tiny gems in the middle – the seeds. They are high in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and amino acids! If you can rinse through the fibers and collect the seeds – you will discover a delicious snack. These seeds can be slowly roasted in a toaster oven and then cooled. Before eating, you want to hull them, which can be done one at a time. It’s not a bad thing to slow down eating and increase the anticipation of a delicious nutritious snack!
Roasting the seeds has been shown via science to enhance the antioxidant properties, aroma, & flavor – and it is absolutely one of my favorites!
