The Wonders of Pumpkin Seeds
Adding pumpkin seeds to this already nutrition-packed bulgur salad will up the ante on health benefits! The seeds are a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential amino acids. They’re high in calories but most of their calories come from protein and fats. They’re a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids and a very good source of the antioxidant vitamin E. When buying, look for whole seeds that are creamy white or light yellow and heavy for their size. If you store them in a cool, dry place, they will last for months.
