Pumpkin Seeds

[Guest guest]

I used to get organic shelled pumpkin seeds, not the kind already treated

with soy, just plain. If i had time I would roast them. You roast them by

putting them in an iron frying pan with no oil. You heat them up, stirring

occasionally. As they heat up, you have to stire more. They will pop and

get slightly brown. Then you quickly take them out of the pan and put in a

bowl to cool off. When I was following the macrobiotic diet we would add

raisins to the roasted pumpkin seeds and carry that around for a snack.

,

I have found that the only good source is from Woodstock Farms. They are

grown in Hungry.

All others have too many rancid pieces or have a high bacteria count.

I have become a believer in branded organic produce. Unbranded organic

produce is too variable in quality.

Unsalted pumpkin seeds, sometimes organic, are available in supermarkets

that sell bulk foods and in health food stores (that sell food and not just

supplements) here in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. You can also

add sunflower seeds which roast up the same way I descrbed. Maybe they are

easier to find. If all else fails, use walnuts.

Hi ,

Sorry to tell you that they are high in fats and calories. The fats are good

fats Omega 3 or something, but in the book Dr. D. says that anyone wanting to

loose weight should avoid pumpkin seeds or eat very sparingly.

I love them too.

Hi :

I am looking at a bag of pumkin seeds right now. They are dry roasted

(with no oil) and salted. Here are the counts:

Serving Size: 1/4c kernels (about 1/3c. in the shell)

Calories 160 (from fat 120)

Total Fat 13g

Saturated Fat 2.5g

Polyunsaturated Fat 6g

Monounsaturated Fat 4g

Cholesterol 0mg

Sodium 9mg

Total Carbohdyrate 3g

Dietary Fiber 1g

Sugars 0g

Protein 8g

So they do have a fair amount of calories and fat. However, keep in

mind two things:

1) It's not as much the amount of fat that you eat, but what type of fat

that really matters. Pumpkin seeds are a great source of mono and

polyunsaturated fats (the so-called " good fats " ) and fairly low in

saturated fat. For more info on this discussion, check out this website:

http://www.udoerasmus.com/designmain.htm

2) Adding dietary fat as you cut carbs will help your body to have less

cravings and feel less hungry through the day. Also, I get them in the

shell, because it takes me longer to eat them so I don't eat as many!

Obviously I am biased, as I DO have a bag sitting here on my desk,

but in my humble opinion, you have made a nice choice for a snack!

Shelled pumpkin seeds are green.

They are sometimes sold as " Pepitas " at some health food stores, like

Trader Joes.

Hi Sue thanks for the post on this info. It sounds great to try. I have been

dealing with a worm problem for a long time and seem to be getting no were at

Hi Sue,

Im confused is it only the pumkin seeds from China that do the job? I bought

some raw at the health food store but I think there the regular kind. Any

ideas of were to order the right kind? I will gladly order them.

Thanks

[Guest guest]

raw pumpkin seeds are highly recommended for men - to stave off prostate cancer...

my hubby eats them every day and has for about 5 years.

Hi,

I am Mexican, and grew up eating pumpink seeds, however, my grandmother used

to get all my family together twice a year to clean our stomach, (you know

how clean the mexican vegetebles and street food are).

Anyway, this is her recipe.

2 cups of whole milk

3-4 cloves of raw garlic

1 hand full of raw pumpink seeds (whole not shelled)

1 tbs olive oil

one bunch of epazote (get it an any Mexican Market) or try to get epazote

oil, and substitute for olive oil

If you can not find epazote do not wory about it. Garlic and pumpkin seeds

will do the job.

Put everything in the blender, and drink it in an empty stomach.

Make sure to follow a healthy diet at least two weeks before you take this

mixture. And all raw food, no carbs diet will be great, since parasites love

sugar and flour. And one very important thing, ask someone to do the

blending for you, and drink it with your nose clipped, since parasites can

hide themselves if they smell danger.

I know of many of my grandmothers friends that compained that it did not

work for them, but when they did it with their nose clipped, for sure

worked.

Good luck.

Pumpkin seeds are part of a very successful regimen used with flaxseed oil for the treatment of cancer, specifically metatastic cancers. They have discussed them a lot on alternate prostate cancer sites. My wife and I put the raw unshelled pumpkin seeds in a mixture of sunflower seeds, slivered almonds, full almonds, raisins and a few M & M to make a "trail mix" sort of blend. We eat it all day long to get away from snacks. My grandson loves the seeds raw, even likes the shelled ones, even though it takes forever to remove the center bean. He's 4 and may have a better chance at things, starting to like raw foods now. Ed

whole milk?
