what are pepitas
Pepitas are the green kernels from pumpkin seeds. The seeds are removed from the pumpkin, then dried so that they are ready to eat. Pepitas are a source of zinc and protein and they also provide iron, vitamin E, magnesium, potassium, some B-complex vitamins and dietary fibre.epitas can be eaten as they are, sprinkled on top of your breakfast cereal, added to salads, savoury dishes and roasted vegetables. When buying pepitas, choose hulled seeds that are a uniform green colour-not brown, which is a sign of rancidity.
