Default On of my favorite foods

Just love the Eden pumpkin seeds...don't work for the company...just love the product.

The delicious flavor of dry roasted organic pumpkin seeds, lightly coated with a bit of our fine Atlantic sea salt. Low in sodium, cholesterol free and an excellent source of magnesium and dietary fiber. Great for parties, camping, backpacking or a nutritious snack any time. Wheat free, non gluten, low carb. Resealable package.
*********
Certified organic pumpkin seeds are dry roasted at our AIB rated Superior, Michigan facility. After roasting, the seeds are lightly coated with sea salt and allowed to naturally air dry before packaging in protective, resealable 4 ounce bags.
EDEN Dry Roasted, Salted Pumpkin Seeds are a nutritious and healthy snack food. An excellent source of protein, dietary fiber, phosphorus and magnesium. Cholesterol free and low sodium. A source of potassium, iron, zinc, and omega 3, 6, and 9. Although they are high in fat, they are low in saturated fats and higher in healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.

According to a study conducted in Thailand researchers have found that eating pumpkin seeds as a snack can help prevent the most common type of kidney stone, called a calcium oxalate stone. Pumpkin seeds appear to reduce levels of substances that promote stone formation in the urine and increases levels of substances that inhibit stone formation. Two studies conducted in China and Russia found that pumpkin seeds seem to be helpful to rid the body of parasitic disease. Pumpkin seeds also contain L-tryptophan and some researchers suggest that they may help remedy depression, further studies are needed though.

Contains no added oil, refined salt, additives or preservatives.
