PUMPKIN SEEDS 200g

Pumpkin seeds are one of nature's most compact nutritional powerhouses. These flat, oval, dark green seeds are loaded with magnesium, zinc and iron — minerals that South Africans are frequently deficient in. Scatter over a salad, fold into a granola bar, stir through a stir-fry, toast with sea salt as a moreish snack, or blend into a seed butter.
