Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas) are a nut or seed food whose intact, roasted, ground, or butter form changes texture and nutrient accessibility. They provide protein, dietary fiber, monounsaturated fat, and polyunsaturated fat. Choose kernels without mold, insect damage, or a paint-like rancid odor and store them airtight away from heat and light; refrigeration extends quality.

Interesting fact
Grinding changes how quickly nut and seed fat becomes accessible
In intact kernels, part of the oil remains enclosed by plant cell walls. Chopping, milling, and turning a nut or seed into butter disrupt more cells, so fat is generally released more readily during digestion.
