Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are nutty tasting, crunchy, chewy and slightly sweet on their own.

Add sea salt, herbs or spices to create different flavor variations.

They’re a terrific snack by themselves, but they’re REALLY GREAT in a bowl of soup or tossed into a salad, sort of like a healthy crouton substitute – crunch and flavor.
