Nutritional and Potential Health Effect of Pumpkin seeds

Abstract

The Cucurbitaceae family's pumpkin seeds are often viewed as industrial waste and discarded. In many regions of the world, seeds are eaten raw, boiled, or roasted, but only for personal consumption. Because they are high in protein, fiber, minerals, and vitamins, they may be considered essential for the food industry. Because the seeds are a byproduct of the pumpkin fruit, they are less expensive, and their inclusion in a variety of foods may result in higher nutritious content at a lower cost. Pumpkin seeds have been found to be beneficial to one's health. More research and study on the transformation of these agro industrial waste products into valuable materials is most likely a huge step in the right direction for worldwide efforts in food sustainability.
