What it is

Pepitas are the edible seeds of pumpkins or other squash varieties. These pepitas have been roasted and salted, a process that enhances their nutty flavor and adds a savory taste.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use roasted salted pepitas to add a crunchy texture and a rich, nutty flavor to a variety of foods. They are commonly found in salads, trail mixes, baked goods like bread and muffins, and as a topping for soups and yogurt.

Health notes

Pepitas are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and healthy fats. While generally considered healthy in moderation, the added salt content should be considered as part of a balanced diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar seeds.

Allergen info

Pepitas are not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
