Mention pumpkins and most people think of jack-o-lanterns, lattes and delicious pies. But there's a lot more to this squash that 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 a good source of protein and iron.
NOW Real Food® Organic 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.
Fresher ingredients simply taste better, which is why this product is packaged using NOW Fresh Fill Technology to maximize flavor and freshness.
Because you are what you eat, NOW Real Food® has been committed to providing delicious, healthy, natural foods since 1968. They're independent, family owned, and proud of it. Keep it natural. Keep it real.

Quinoa, Black Bean & Mango Picnic Salad
This colorful salad combines sweet mango, earthy quinoa and peppery arugula for a standout dish at potlucks and backyard barbecues. With black beans and avocado making it heartier, it works as a power lunch, super side or vegetarian main dish. The addition of toasted sweet and spicy pumpkin seeds adds textural crunch and furthers the plant-protein count. All the flavors pop with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice dressing.
