Organic Roasted Pepitas

Organic roasted pepitas are the hulled seeds of a pumpkin variety, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The seeds are roasted to enhance their nutty flavor and crunchy texture.

Pepitas add a satisfying crunch and nutty taste to a variety of foods. They are often found in trail mixes, granola bars, baked goods, salads, and as a topping for soups and dips.

Pepitas are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of nutrients like magnesium and zinc. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated pepitas, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also reviewed them. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming pepitas in typical amounts.
