Wow, thanks for posting this! We love pumpkin seeds but usually buy the already-dried version which is very expensive!

I thought of you and this is why I posted this. We talked about the bounty of Fall produce.

The pumpkin contains yummy seeds that are generally roasted and slightly salted by processing plants. These seeds can be an important part of your diet and contain no cholesterol, little sodium if unsalted, substantial fiber, high levels of magnesium, plentiful iron and although high in fat, it is unsaturated - which has been proven effective in lowering high serum cholesterol. Good for the old blood pressure! Also, the one-ounce serving size equals about 140 kernels, which is a very generous portion and takes a long while to eat. Pretty good for 150 calories if one is dieting!
