GIVEAWAY: SuperSeedz Gourmet Pumpkin Seeds
SuperSeedz generously allowed me to sample all eight varieties of pumpkin seeds for this blog post and are offering the same opportunity to three lucky readers. I received no compensation in providing this post or giveaway. All opinions are my own.
Pumpkin seeds (also known as pepitas) are inherently great for you: they’re high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats that help you feel satisfied longer. They’re prized for their high zinc content -- an important mineral that aids in proper immune function and may reduce how severe and how long your cold symptoms last...a must-have mineral, especially this time of year!
Plus the seeds are packed with manganese, which helps support healthy bone formation, and are loaded with multiple forms of vitamin E to help protect your cell membranes from those nasty things called free radicals that submit our cells to inappropriate damage (and age us quicker, too).
The seeds are also a good option for those who are allergic to peanuts/tree nuts and looking for an alternative product or for those who are looking for more plant-based protein options.
Now...I've tried to make pumpkin seeds on my own and you can try it at home too. But let me tell you - after meticulously sorting through pumpkin pulp, washing and drying the seeds, and burning them one to many times - this chick would rather buy.
Enter in Superseedz. They're conveniently dry roasted, shelled, and spiced in a variety of flavors including Really Naked, Sea Salt, Cinnamon & Sugar, Coco Joe, Tomato Italiano, Curious Curry, Somewhat Spicy and Super Spicy.
I tend to gravitate towards chocolate and spicy foods, so it's no surprise that my favorites were Coco Joe and Super Spicy. I added the Super Spicy to the top of a bowl of Bob’s Red Mill Veggie Soup and the Coco Joe (whose seeds happened to be clustered up like granola) to a half-cup of Greek yogurt - soooo good.
Here are ten delicious ways I incorporated the pumpkin seeds into some of my favorite foods. Pin this photo to save these ideas for later!
SuperSeedz kindly offered to gift THREE LUCKY WINNERS with a bag of each flavor…that means that THREE winners get to try and experiment with all EIGHT flavors of pumpkin seeds just like me! To enter the giveaway, simply use the Rafflecopter tool below. The giveaway is open to US residents only and ends Monday, October 13th at midnight. I will notify the winners via email. Good luck!
