Organic pumpkin seeds Grade AA

A superb source of magnesium, potassium and essential fatty acids, pumpkin seeds (organic pumpkin seeds) should accompany your lunchtime salads or breakfasts, alongside green grapes from Khorog or Sultan Izmir. As an aperitif, with a few hazelnuts or cashew nuts, they'll delight children and remind you of sunflower seeds.

A little history:
The ancestors of squash, wild gourds, seem to have originated in Central America, between Mexico and Guatemala. They then spread to North and South America. The fruits, especially the seeds, were eaten by the Indians. Like the Indians, the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas cultivated squash alongside corn and beans. Squash cultivation was introduced to Europe in the 16th century, before being rapidly adopted by Africa and China.
The squash is a large, ground-creeping plant, related to the melon and cucumber.

Properties :
Include seeds in your daily diet: up to two tablespoons a day (approx. 20g), depending on the composition of your meals.
This quantity is equivalent to approximately one tablespoon of oil (lipid content).

We recommend it...
- everyone (children, teenagers, students, athletes, pregnant or breastfeeding women, mobile and sedentary workers...): for its unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid content.
- people suffering from anaemia: pumpkin seeds are a good source of iron (to promote the assimilation of iron, which is of plant origin, accompany your pumpkin seeds with food rich in vitamin C, such as raw vegetables, fruit or fresh fruit juice).
- for stressed and/or tired people: it's also a great source of dietary fiber, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium.
- vegetarians, vegans: its protein, vitamin and mineral content is also significant and highly recommended.

Finally, it is traditionally consumed in cases of micturition disorders
