Pumpkin seeds or in this case, the inner seed without the outer shell called pepitas are superfoods in their own class. They carry potent nutrient profiles that top off essential macro and micro nutrients such as fat, complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Pumpkin seeds also contain large amounts of phytochemicals, iron, manganese, magnesium, and phosphorus, which all play vital roles in muscle, nervous, and skeletal system function. They can be eaten regularly (unless you react negatively to them), however, in moderation to fat, mineral, and iron intake.
