With the versatile goodness of that bright-orange pulp, everyone seems to forget that what’s tucked inside a pumpkin is an even greater treasure. Pumpkin seeds are teeming with nutrition, boasting 12 grams of protein and hefty doses of magnesium and zinc in every cup. Instead of crunching, try drizzling on the benefits instead. Pumpkin seed oil makes a simple, nutritious salad dressing—just add a pinch of sea salt and sprinkle your greens with more seeds for a nutritionally complete meal.
