Sugared Pepitas a Healthy Snack

One of our favorite snack are organic Pepitas aka pumpkin kernels. Plus they are very good for you since they are high in manganese, zinc and protein!

Pumpkins, and their seeds, are native to the Americas, and indigenous species are found across North America, South America, and Central America. The word “pepita” is consistent with this heritage, since it comes from Mexico, where the Spanish phrase “pepita de calabaza” means “little seed of squash.”
