Pumpkin seeds make a creamy, nutty, neutral-flavored plant-based milk. It's very refreshing cold, or great to use over cereal, in smoothies, in coffee or tea.

Pumpkin seeds are nutritional powerhouses, containing a wide range of vitamins and minerals. They're particularly rich in zinc, magnesium, manganese, copper and iron. Just one serving (1 cup) contains 11% DV* of iron, 12% of zinc, 33% of magnesium and 28% of phosphorus. They contain a wide array of beneficial plant compounds known as phytosterols and antioxidants, which can give your health an added boost and protect you against disease. The seeds, extract, and oil have also long been valued for their anti-microbial benefits, including their anti-fungal and anti-viral properties.

Thanks to all these valuable nutrients, pumpkin seeds may help keep your heart healthy, benefit your liver and immune system, help fight diabetes and offer unique benefits for men's prostate health and women's relief of menopause symptoms as well.
