What Are Organic Pumpkin Seeds?
Pumpkin seeds were a celebrated food among many Native American tribes, who treasured them both for their dietary and medicinal properties. In South America, the popularity of pumpkin seeds has been traced at least as far back as the Aztec cultures of 1300-1500 AD. From the Americas, the popularity of pumpkin seeds spread to the rest of the globe through trade and exploration over many centuries.
In parts of Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean (especially Greece), pumpkin seeds became a standard part of everyday cuisine. Culinary and medical traditions in India and other parts of Asia also incorporated this food , understanding and acknowledging the Seeds are of great dietary importance.
Why Should I Get Organic Pumpkin Seeds?
While antioxidant nutrients are found in most Wholefoods, it's the diversity of antioxidants in pumpkin seeds that makes them unique in their antioxidant support. Pumpkin seeds contain conventional antioxidant vitamins like vitamin E, However, they contain it in a wide variety of forms.
Alpha-tocopherol, gamma-tocopherol, delta-tocopherol, alpha-tocomonoenol and gamma-tocomonoenol are all forms of vitamin E found in pumpkin seeds. These last two forms have only recently been discovered, and they are a topic of special interest for those researching vitamin E, since their bioavailability might be greater than some of the other more common forms.
Pumpkin seeds also contain conventional mineral antioxidants like zinc and manganese, as well as a wide variety of Phenolic antioxidants including the phenolic acids hydroxybenzoic, caffeic, coumaric, ferulic, sinapic, protocatechuic, vanillic, and syringic acid.
The seeds themselves are wonderfully tasty and make great additions to most dishes as they are, a keen favourite is a pumpkin and sunflower seed salad for those hot summer nights!
