Pumpkin seed recipes

Pumpkin seeds are greenish in colour, and can be eaten raw or cooked both in sweet and savoury dishes. Delicious roasted, or toasted and sprinkled with soya sauce while hot, and served on salads. They're rich in protein, iron, zinc and phosphorus. During the autumn, when pumpkins are in season, you can dry your own seeds for use in various dishes.
