Mention pumpkins and most people think of jack-o-lanterns, lattes and delicious pies. But there's a lot more to this squash than its scrumptious flavor. Pumpkin seeds (also known as pepitas in Spanish) are just a small portion of a pumpkin's make-up, but they're big on flavor, and they're an excellent source of protein and iron. Raw Pumpkin Seeds are a tasty and crunchy treat, ideal for snacking or as a delicious addition to salads, homemade breads, snack mixes, and desserts.
